RDMS for C language newbie?

Question

what database system should a beginner in c language to use? Can i use MySQL? Thanks

Answer 1

You can use SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or any other DBMS with a C language binding.

• SQLite In 5 Minutes Or Less
• MySQL C API
• PostgreSQL C API

Answer 2

MySQL has C bindings, so you could use that; libmysql usually installs the necessary headers and library files. You might also experiment with something like SQLite if you just want to mess about with a DBMS in C.

Answer 3

If you question is "What RDBMS do you recommend for beginner?" I agree that MySQL is not a bad choice. It's easy to install and configure. I think that most RDMS can be accessed from C code now days

Answer 4

Thanks a lot.. I didn't know that all SQL database systems have support for c language.
