I imagine this is one of those horrible contraptions where you "add a database" to your project and then have to specify your queries in some awkward dialog box which is actually 100 times harder to learn than SQL, which will in turn translate your input into a horribly inefficient SQL statement and then generate 50 layers of C++ code, which will likely include at least 3 M$ database access interfaces layered on each other (first of which will probably be an MFC-something, followed by an ActiveX/COM-something, followed by ODBC) and then at the highest level leave you with some funny C++ objects, like in those beginner examples, where you have an object called CEmployees with get and set methods for every column like getSalary() and setSalary(). And when something goes wrong, one of the lower layers will just pop up a useless dialog box saying "lol I think the database doesn't work, error code 3453458934537393", after which your program will just crash and neither your users nor you will have the slightest clue what the fuck just happened because you never bothered to learn SQL or how a database server actually works.
Worse yet, when you look up the error code in MSDN, it will translate into something incredibly useful like "the parameter is invalid". LOL.
