database options

Post by sutejok »

Hi,

can someone tell me, what are the databases options that i have that is gonna work under windows' system? I'm trying to make a C++ program taht will connect to the database.

Also, I know that mysql does work wth C++, but will my program be able to read/write to the database when mysql server is not running? ( I mean, say if i run the program on a computer that does not have mysql installed )


Thxxxxxx

if you want an option that'll always work.. (mostly) have it write to flat files.. that's pretty much guaranteed to work (unless write permissions are denied)
