Oh no...C# was definitely the logical sequel to C.

You're kidding, right?

Only partially. D, D+, and D++ have been around for a while.

Hello world for D.
D Language
My D++ link is dead. I appears that its features were merged back into D. I've never used either language, but I did run across them a couple years ago while doing some research for a company I use to work for.

And where does Brainfuck[^] come into all of this?
|
|
|
|
|
what i understand of it is that data is written directly from the application into files (using C ?!), but not using database systems like MS SQL Server, Oracle or so...

If you really need something that simple, you'd better write it,
that should not take long, and it will be exactly what you want.
If you want something a little more elaborate, why don't you look at
SQL-Server Desktop edition? It is free, and still preserves your
ability to scale up. If you want it really lightweight, you can
use the one with direct file access (no server).
My two cents.

Sounds like all you want is a linked list. Why not just create your own? If you're looking for a database in C try SQLPLUS, though it may be a little more than what you want.

Sounds like you need Berkeley DB[^] (these days owned and maintained by Oracle, but open source/free nevertheless)

I did this once as a class exercise. The book that aided me in this endeavor was File Structures by Folk and Zoellick.

Might be overkill, but SQLite is a flat C library: http://www.sqlite.org/index.html[^]
Or try googling ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method), there's bound to be some free libs out there.

I have looked for such a thing and never found a free one. The closest and cheapest, alternative I've run across is:
http://www.mixsoftware.com/product/database.htm[^]
There is also: http://www.mghsoft.com/index.html[^].
I have used neither since I currently have no requirement to do so (almost did, which is why I found them.) I have used the following and was impressed with the caveats listed.
Slightly more expensive is http://www.codebase.com/[^]. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in years, doesn't support UNICODE (at least directly) and doesn't put all the data in one file.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

Is it possible to transfer a file from a PC to a PDA via a serial connection. There appears to be plenty of code about that will work when connected via activesync but if possible I need to use the serial port. I have been looking at using the RAPI functions CECreateFile, CeReadFile, CeWriteFile etc. The applications on the PC and PDA will both be C++ apps.

Have you tried looking at the samples in MSDN?

Google is your friend - search "money making schemes".
It's all right there in the documentation!

I am looking to design a database using C++ in the near future and am needing some reference or opinions on where to start. The trick to this database is that it is solely ran off of excel spreadsheets. I want to populate my database using a preexisting excel spreadsheet, edit the information I want through the database, and then save the updated data back to that location or to a new location.
I'm looking to link this to using bar code scanning and capturing data so it updates the database that way. The scanning is very basic, a matter of scanning a bar code and the database putting a Y or N in a related column depending on the number scanned.
I have also thought about doing this web based using PHP, but like I said i'm needing some opinions or reference points on the web to look at for some examples. This will not be a very detailed database, probably up to 10 columns max and at the most 10k line items.
Thanks in advance
