Hello everyone,

With the help of CornedBee I figured out what I want to do for my term project but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with working with C++ and databases. I'm going to be creating an Inventory-Control program that will do the following:

-Allow the user to input part quantity, price per unit, part name
-track the cost of parts and where in the warehouse they are located
-alert the parts manager when the on-hand inventory falls below the target level, so parts can be re-ordered.
-sort by part name/part number/quantity

Also if I need more lines of code to hit 1,000 i will implement
-calculate inventory costs on a Last-in-first-out basis AND on a First-in-first-out basis.

But I'm wondering what the best database to handle all of this information and to store it. Are there any C++ libraries out there that are specially made for database management and accessing databases?

If I need at least 1,000 lines of code, would I just store all the information in a text file, that to me seems like a bad solution but I've never written such a program so I'm not sure what would be a good idea or bad idea.

Thanks!
