Since 1997 I have been heavily involved in SQL database development. The last three years almost exclusively as a Win32/SQL Server developer. Most of that development work was done in ODBC. While ODBC is a powerful tool for application work, it is tedious, highly error prone, and time consuming to use. During a brief programming assignment with JAVA, I became familiar with JDBC. I was unhappy that a similar kind of API set was not available to C++ programmers. Then by great fortune I discovered SQLAPI and realized that it was just what I had been looking for.

In June of 2001, my company began a project to develop a major voice mail / unified messaging product that would have an extensive SQL Server database component supporting both the Win32 GUI and many NT service programs.  SQLAPI was chosen as the development tool for the database interface. After nine months of programming using SQLAPI, I wonder how I ever got along without it. I would never consider going back to ODBC and with SQLAPI's multi platform support, I won't have to.

I have been purchasing software development tools for more than 25 years and I can say that the customer support from SQLAPI has been excellent with quick, informative responses to my questions. I have no reservations about strongly recommending SQLAPI to any developer involved in database application work no matter what the platform or the database product.

I first discovered SQLAPI++ in early 2001 when searching for an easy way to add ODBC and SQL capabilities to the applications that Retail Technologies Corporation develops. At the time, I has been learning exactly how painful and tedious it is to write native ODBC code myself, and I knew that that had to be a better way of doing things.  An additional consideration at the time was future portability of our current Windows applications to Linux in the future. SQLAPI++ has served both of these needs very well.

SQLAPI++ provides a very well thought out C++ class library for database access, offering not just ODBC, but native access to just about all major databases.  Additionally, SQLAPI++ is available for both the Windows and Linux platforms - with source code included.  Using SQLAPI++, I have been able to take advantage of SQL (and ODBC) with much less programming effort than might have otherwise been required. This has helped reduce the time to market for the products that I am developing.  Furthermore, I have found the technical support and customer service to be second to none. Any time that I have run into issues or had questions, I have found the staff at SQLAPI++ to be very responsive, always willing to go that extra mile to help.

I have found SQLAPI++ to be a most useful development tool. It has quickly enabled our own product to support a variety of SQL Databases using a universal approach. Previously we had to use various different mechanisms to access databases. The library has proved itself on both Windows and UNIX platforms to be well written, easy to use and stable.

I have never found a better API to use to access the databases my customers use and me. The API is very simple to use and it doesn't matter if you're using MS SQL, Oracle or some other RDBMS. You will get up and running really fast. This one is great. I highly recommend this to anyone that needs to access an RDBMS.

Now we use SQLAPI on 3 platforms: Windows, SGI IRIX, Sun Solaris.
SQLAPI is great! It decreases DB programming work from N*M (N platforms, M databases) to almost one. In our environment, we use Informix and Oracle on IRIX, SQL Server and Oracle on Win2000, Sybase on Solaris. Previously, I used ODBC++ on Windows platform, now I am migrating to SQLAPI++.

Product is well-designed and easy to use. Support response is excellent. Documentation good, but would be improved by a more comprehensive set of sample code stuff. I WOULD recommend the product to others.

The SQLAPI support system is as good as any I have ever encountered. Most questions have been resolved very quickly. The SQLAPI product is responsible for minimizing the support load on our development folks for our product that formerly used the Oracle Pro*c precompiler. This enabled us to have less worry about which Oracle client the customer is using, and allowed us to support Oracle and MS SQL Server successfully with a single code base. I highly recommend it for C++ development efforts.

We purchased a site license for three reasons:

1. We have 4 different databases running on 2 different platforms and we wanted a consistent way of accessing  them using C++.

2. While testing the demo version of the product, all of our questions (both technical and non-technical)  were promptly answered.

3. Price. Lifetime support for unlimited developers for the cost of two licenses. Not a bad deal.

SQLAPI is a fantastic lightweight API that enabled me to easily connect to any SQL Server database within the intra-net and perform all of my database transactions including queries, updates, inserts, and executing stored procedures. The beauty of this software is that the source code is provided to developer in case of need. Lastly, the support for the product has been very efficient and has resolved my issues promptly. I would recommend this product to every C/C++ developer.

After evaluation many SQL libraries available on the Internet, I found SQLAPI++ to be the easiest to install and most intuitive to understand.  Competitive pricing and source code availability were also important to us, and since implementation SQLAPI++ has proved to be fast and stable in our WAN Radiology Products.  Excellent support has also been provided by the SQLAPI++ team when needed.

SQLAPI++ does nothing which couldn't be done by yourself, but it's already done and it's done well. It simply safes you a lot of development and research time. It is also very reasonable priced and the delivery of the complete source code is an insurance against a "sudden disappearance" of the product.

My company develops client/server-applications with standard DBMS (for example: Oracle, InterBase and Informix), especially for the public administration. SQLAPI is for us the best library we found to serve as a layer between our data-access-classes and the DBMS-specific interface. Two other aspects should be emphasized:

• it was very easy to switch from another library to SQLAPI;
• the advancements the SQLAPI developer made to remove bugs and enhance the functionality.

Few years ago I developed a program for loading fairly complex data into Oracle. I used C++ and RogueWave's DBtools.h++ on Solaris. A couple of years later I had to modify the program, and found out I had to re-purchase DBtools.h++ because of lapsed maintenance fees. After looking around, I found out that SQLAPI++ was a lot less expensive, so I switched. But the best part was that the interface was much cleaner. Using RogueWave, I had to "bounce" the data between C++ and RogueWave's classes, before I could pass it on to SQL. SQLAPI++ eliminated all this burden.

I was under an extremely tight development schedule to deliver an application to call and retrieve results from Oracle packages. Without enough time to write my own handlers, I knew a third party library would be necessary. I researched a number of different libraries and SQLAPI++ had everything I needed at, what I realize now after using it, a phenomenal price. Integration into our project was simple, support was fantastic, and performance was unbeatable. SQLAPI++ delivered! Thank You!

SQLAPI++ is clean, easy to use and has well thought out class library for database access. We tested it out on our applications with Oracle and Sybase on Windows and Linux platform, and it runs really well. We are able to deploy our application to any of our customers without deployment license. Also, SQLAPI++ has knowledgeable technical support and the response time is excellent. I highly recommend this software. Great work!
