For an administrator, it may be useful to access the cego database with a more low level programming interface. For those guys, cego provides a C++ programming interface.

To use the C++ API, you should have compiled and installed the base library, the xml library and the cego client library. All packages are available as opensource at www.lemke-it.com. Please refer to the README information of each package, how to compile and install it.

13.1   Connecting to the database

The first thing, you have to do in your application program is to connect to the cego database daemon. For this, you can use the following code.

/* from base */ 
#include <Chain.h>
#include <Logger.h>
#include <Exception.h>
#include <Net.h>
#include <NetHandler.h>


main(int argc, char **argv)
{	

    Chain serverName("myServer");
    int portNo = 2000;

    Chain user("lemke");
    Chain password("lemke");
    Chain logFile("cg.log");
    Chain logMode("notice");

	
    CegoAdmNet *pCegoAdmNet = new CegoAdmNet( logFile, logMode );	
    pCegoAdmNet->connect(serverName, portNo, user, password);

    ...
