A simple Database in C++

[bluetooth]

Dear Friends,

I want to make a simple database for my Mom's School which will include Adding basic information, displaying information, deleting information. I want to use file input & output with notepad..
Does using loop solves this..?
Also i have tried this but it overwrites the previous information.
Please suggest me a link or any idea.

Thanks in advance.

command line and MySQLC++ driver at MYSQL website.

All the best!

I think SQLite would be more suitable.

He clearly mentioned it that the app is for a school and schools are big with hundreds of students. Hence I suggested MySQL.

Plus the drivers for MySQL are easily available and I have experience working with them.

Use fstreams and class to insert and manipulate data in C++. I made a computerised billing software using file handling in c++ and it run quite succesfully.

If you dont know file handling than use php. It is quite easy.By the way wht r u requirements. I may help you.

No loop will not help you. You must deal with structures and classes

Of course i can help you. We are here to help each others. Mail me all your requirements so that i can start the project as soon as possible. By the way when do u need the project? Coz i cant start the project immediately. I am engaged with some personal works and in addition to that i am preparing for my sat exam which is on 5th june.

If you are in too hurry thn i will give u the outlines and some tips to use the class and file handling. Personally i feel instead of working with c++ using sql with php will be more easy and reliable....In which school do you study?

@Ron Thanks. I have sent u the mail I which I have written all the information you may need. I am not in a hurry. You can work at your own convenience. I have just passed out in +2. And sorry for giving you problems if it happens because of me.
