Hello,

I would like to hear your opinions how I best tackle my problem. I´m writing a game in c++ that (in the future) people can download from my website. All users have to sign in and have a record in de database. Now I want to integrate the online database in my game (example players picture). Is it possible to query my database trough the C++ client programm(game) ? Also I thouht buidling up the database to look wh´s online ?

The c++ client has to work in 2 directions. It can Updat fe Highscores. And it has to retrieve data like who´s online,...
? Mysql++ I cannont use, I think,beacaus my host don´t let me query my db from an remote server.

I already head about Libcurl. Can it tackle my Problems. Or are there other ways.
