wierd SQL.H problem

[jchristian]

Hi There,

I just installed MSVC 6.0 and created an empty console application... I need it to connect to mysql.

all i did was:

#include <sql.h>

and the program spits out:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\sqltypes.h(114) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'SQLHWND'

the line in the file its talking about is :

#if defined(WIN32) || defined(OS2)
typedef HWND SQLHWND; //<<<---THIS LINE
#elif defined (UNIX)
typedef Widget SQLHWND;
#else
/* placehold for future O/S GUI window handle definition */
typedef SQLPOINTER SQLHWND;
#endif

I am sure there is nothing wrong with my file and that I have just set something up not correctly, but its weird because i havent even begun programming, the main file looks like this...

// mysql.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include &quot;stdafx.h&quot;
#include <sql.h>



int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

printf(&quot;Hello World!\n&quot;
return 0;
}
