MFC and embedded databases?

Question

Hi, Can you recommend good embedded databases with Visual C++/MFC?

I've looked at: - SQLite - HamsterDB

Any others?

Answer 1

Have a look around on codeproject.com for MFC-esque wrappers around sqlite. There are quite a number of good ones. The sqlite website has links to c++ wrappers, too.

Answer 2

I would use SQL Server Compact Edition plus ATL OLE DB Consumer Templates (you can use them with MFC).

This is an interesting link: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/windows/atl_ole_db_ppc.aspx

You have to use this OLE DB provider: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174142(SQL.100).aspx

Answer 3

Windows has an embedded database enginge (no query engine, a low level API like HamsterDB).
