Custom C++ MySQL Filter Tool

I have a very large MySQL database and need a high-performance C++ program that lets me filter and clean records on demand. The software has to let me combine every available filter parameter—date range, user activity and category—so I can slice the data any way I choose and then carry out the following cleaning steps in one run: • remove duplicates • correct invalid or inconsistent entries • normalize fields to a consistent format Because the data volume is heavy, speed and memory efficiency matter as much as accuracy. I expect the code to be modular so I can tweak or add new filters later without rewriting the whole project. Please deliver: • well-documented C++ source that compiles on Linux • connection layer for MySQL (prepared statements preferred) • a simple CLI or config file where I can define the filter rules and toggle each cleaning task • build/run instructions and a short README explaining how to extend the filter logic If something in the brief is unclear, let me know early so we can agree on the most efficient approach before you start coding.
