    Re: pointers

    I've never seen pointer used in a database. You question doesn't make much sense unless it is your schoolwork. I suggest you read up on pointers and references so you at least know what they are.

    Re: pointers

    If you need that question answered then you don't need to use pointers. I agree that this sounds like homework.

    There may be a language barrier but your post sounds like a demand. You might, in future, consider posting things like:

    Re: pointers

    Pointers are not used in databases, but there is something called a "reference", also called foreign keys... is that what you are asking ?

    Or did you mean to post in the C/C++ forum, or C# forum ?
