making a data base.. with out access.

[nickwrs]

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.

You don't need MS Access installed to create/use an access database file....developing your own DBMS will take you quite a LONG time, and usually you'll want to avoid reinventing the wheel if at all possible

If you have the ODBC installed on your machine(just check the Control Panel) you can use a text file....yes a text file and run SQL statements in it... Pretty powerful stuff what do you think?

Why don't you try on XML??
You can design your own database engine which will store all the data in XML format.
