Is there a way to make a data base and use these manipulations without using access or other program.

I guess I am just wanting to code my own data base, :-) I don't have access or anything is why, and I need to have a searchable data base. I know in C I could make a bst or other things with pointers, but all I have heard of are arrays, and arrays use static memory.

anything you can point me to, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you have any code that I could borrow, that would be nice too.
