insert record to DB sqlite C+++ code example

Example: sqlite3 get data from table c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
using std::string;
#include <sstream>
using std::stringstream;

#include "sqlite3.h"

bool find_employee(int _id)

    sqlite3_stmt* stmt;
    stringstream ss;

    // create sql statement string
    // if _id is not 0, search for id, otherwise print all IDs
    // this can also be achieved with the default sqlite3_bind* utilities
    if(_id) { ss << "select * from employees where id = " << _id << ";"; }
    else { ss << "select * from employees;"; }
    string sql(ss.str());

    //the resulting sql statement

    //get link to database object
