outstream question [i think]

[devlin iamaquatics org]

Hello,
Let me start out by saying that I am new to linux, c/c++, gtk+, and mysql.

The eventual goal is to create a program to log incidents at an  
aquatic facility. As of right now, I am just trying to write some  
small simple things to stretch out my [programming] legs.

At this point, I have gtk, mysql, and mysql++ cooperating with each  
other. I am working on this whole gtk thing and I can't seem to find  
an easier solution that the one I am using.

The goal is to connect to the database and retrieve some information  
on the click of the button. I can't seem to find the equivalent of a  
cout statement for gtk. I have googled it to no avail.

I also believe I have read all the relevant documentation (including  
having to use the g_free() function.

Is there a better way to do what I am asking?

If you need the database design, I can provide it.

Thanks,
-devlin
