- I am interested in developing a product on windows in C++ that uses
- a database. I would like to have use some type of embedded C
- from which to access the database. Some obvious choices are Ingres
- and oracle. They are also very expensive. The database must offer
- all the usual locking required for a multiuser system.
-
- Unfortunately, products like FoxPro limit the developer to using
- FOXpro for the rest of the products life by making one develope in
- their language. Not very Appealing to any serious development.
- I am sure they don't have any problems with this, as
- it makes it impossible to ever switch databases...
-
- But I do want the ability to switch databases at some point...if the
- need ever arises.
-
- What would be some suggestions for product that support embedded
- code and possibly SQL ?
-
- thanks,
