ok, this is my source code test.cc (i didn´t include the headers and that stuff, but it´s is the same as in simple1.cc, in the example folder):

int main() { try{ char *data_buff; Connection con(use_exceptions); con.connect("Sistemas"); Query query = con.query(); query<<"SELECT GETUPDATE("<<data_buff<<")"; query.execute();

FILE *fic; fic = fopen("data_update.log","a"); fprintf(fic,"%s",data_buff); fclose(fic);

} catch (BadQuery er) { // handle any connection or // query errors that may come up cerr << "Error: " << er.error << endl; return -1; } } GETUPDATE is a function i added which gets a pointer and it fills it with information of the keys which are modified when doing a delete, update or insert. So this api would call GETUPDATE, who would add information about the keys, and then would print that information in the file "data_update.log". First of all, in /usr/local/mysql/bin i type ./safe_mysqld --user=mysql & and then in the same place ./mysql -p, so everything is running. Then i go to the examples folder of the mysql++ and type test(), and it is then, after pressing enter, that i get this prompt ">", and it doesn´t matter what i type (i´ve tried with numbers, sql commands, etc) that i get the syntax error.
