Newby Declaration question 1

[CodingIsFun]

Hi all experts,

I am new to c++, and have a project to revamp or convert some c++ code to a more inhouse usable language. No one in my group has ever used c++.

most of this makes sense, but I do have a few questions

(1) db_connection *pconn = get_connection();

What is the * for before the pconn variable.

(2) std::string strInitializeCountSql

just confirming that this is a string declaration, right?


(3) SELECT * from FROM test_%1% WHERE test_id=?"

what is the _%1% for?

Thanks in advance...

1) * maening a pointer to a variable/structure/object/etc of type db_connection

2) yes

3)the %1% will probably be used to substitute a variable into the SQL statement
