+# cppmariadb
+
+A C++11 class wrapper for the mysql/mariadb C connector.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you can use cppmariadb you need to download and install [the official mariadb C connector](https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-c/)). And if you want to run the tests you additionally need [the google testing framework](https://github.com/google/googletest).
+
+[The cpputils libary](https://git.bergmann89.de/cpp/cpputils) will be automatically downladed during the build.
+
+### Small Usage Example
+
+```
+#include <iostream>
+#include <exception>
+#include <cppmariadb.h>
+
+using namespace ::cppmariadb;
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+    try
+    {
+        /* establish connection to database */
+        connection c = database::connect("localhost", 3306, "testuser", "password", "database", client_flags::empty());
+
+        /* prepare a query */
+        statement s("SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE id=?id?");
+        s.set("id", 5);
+
+        /* execute the query */
+        result_used* res = con.execute_used(s);
+        if (res == nullptr)
+        {
+            throw std::exception("unable to fetch from table from database!");
+        }
+
+        /* iterate over result set */
+        row* r = res->next();
+        while(r != nullptr)
+        {
+            std::cout << "new dataset:" << std::endl;
+            for (size_t i = 0; i < r->size(); ++i)
+            {
+                field f = r->at(i);
+                std::cout << "  " << f.column().name << ": " << f.get<std::string>() << std::endl;
+            }
+            std::cout << std::endl;
+            r = res->next();
+        }
+
+        return 0;
+    }
+    catch(const std::exception& ex)
+    {
+        std::cout << ex.what() << std::endl;
+    }
+    return 1
+}
