...though that 1mb limit is rather unfortunate, for my current project.
I'll have to use the heap after all, but it's a good thing to know for the future.

You can change the default stack size from the project properties.
Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> System -> Stack Reserve Size / Stack Commit Size.
Look at the documentation for the /STACK[^] linker option.

I think this is not going in the stack but rather in the string table. My advice is to avoid this approach.

Are you really sure you want to allocate large chunks of data on the stack?
Off the top of my head I can't think of any really good reason for doing this, and it seems to be more trouble than it's worth compared to heap allocation.

I'm writing an ISAPI extension to handle form data including one or more file uploads.
Most of what I've read on ISAPI extensions has indicated that time and memory are of the essence, and, because of that, using the heap should be avoided, as much as is reasonable, in favor of using the stack.
I understand a few parts of the stack/heap concept, but my knowledge (and understanding) is severly lacking in this area. As such, I didn't know whether or not trying to place the entire HTTP-REQUEST (including the uploaded files) on the stack was possible or reasonable until I asked.
That said, when I asked about dynamically sizing an array I was more thinking about "standard-length" strings...
I have been programming for several years, but, until the past couple years, almost exclusively in higher-level languages that didn't require me to keep track of memory. And, when I started with C++, I was using managed C++ with its garbage-collection crutch.
Now that I'm trying (or having) to ditch the __gc, I try to keep things on the stack as much as possible. Tracking down those ommitted deletes is a pain, especially for often-changed member variables where I tend to forget to delete the existing object/value before creating the new one.
Thank you for your patience in guiding the nooB!

That's reasonable. The general maxim in C++ is to use the stack except when you need to use the heap.

Unless you have certain constraints within ISAPI (I'm not familiar with it) you should use Standard C++ (STL) and Boost to help you with such matters, i.e., avoid raw new and delete.
However, there is a learning curve and I don't know how long you've been doing C++ for.
For arrays you could use the STL vector. Then you don't need to worry about new and delete for dynamically sizing the array.

I do not pretend to be an ISAPI expert, but you're trying to get into some kind of hand-crafted memory management. This can be more dangerous than you imagine. Try using some of those existing and well tested libraries like stl, mfc, etc.,
Agreed that utilising the stack as much as possible is a good thing, but I don't think that it is going to make *that much* of a difference on any normal application. If you try pushing the stack to its limits, there's also a danger of stack overflow.
I'll humbly suggest you to drop this idea of 'manual' memory management adventure. For all the pain that it could cause, it isn't worth. Frequent allocation and deallocation of the heap can fragment it and there are memory damage possibilities, memory leaks, etc., I won't ever choose something of this sort, unless I'm writing a memory manager or something like that myself.
Pick an existing library and it would use the heap in the best possible way for you.

If you're using VC2008, then std::tr1::shared_ptr[^] is handy.
If not (or even if you are - see shared_array), then Boost.SmartPointers[^] is handy.
The best advice is to wrap resource allocation/deallocation in an object[^] (allocation in constructors, deallocation in the destructor), so you can tie the resource usage to the object's lifetime. That's how the STL containers (vector, list, map, set etc) work.
C++ (when written in a nice idiomatic way) relies on deterministic destruction to manage resources - when done right, it makes programming as easy as using garbage collection, IMO.

This sentence does not make sense - but maybe it's just me...
Other than that, in what way is your question related to C/C++?

It's easy i m trying to export data from mysql to Excel.
So what is not sensable thing?

So which part are you having trouble with, getting data from Excel, or putting data into MySQL?

Are you using Excel's COM interface (i.e., automation), or its ODBC driver?

Then read up on the CRecordset class.

So what's the problem? Are you using GetDateFormat()?
