Java DB in C++, or FoxPro 9

Hi:

Can anyone provide some pointer on using
JAVA DB in c++ or FoxPro 9.0. Any comment, help appreciated ...

Do you mean using database Java, using database with c++ and using database with FoxPro 9.0?

FoxPro is a language mainly for writing application to provide graphical user interface to save customer information into database, displaying customer information and managing customer information.
FoxPro prefer to use its own database and support Microsoft SQL server.

Java is a language for more purposes. You can use Java Server Page and JavaBeans to create web page to save customer information or display customer information. There are more choice for brand of databases if you have suitable database driver. Java can use JDBC technique to connect to many database.
You can use Java to write Java application.

I dont know much about C++

I think he's talking about a product called Java DB

From what I know, Java DB is intended for embedding a database in a Java application, ie, launch and close the DB with the program, I'm not sure if it's suitable for your needs.

Could you ellaborate a bit more your question?

Cheers,
Dian

Thankyou Prosper and Dian for your replies.

I think 'Java DB' is a product from Sun, similar to MySQL. Since it is free, I was thinking to use this database for my application. The application may be in C++ or Visual Foxpro. I am aware that 'Java DB' can be used in Java applications. Can it be used from c++, Foxpro ? Is there any other Database from Sun and is free ?


Thanks

If you want to read/write VFP tables look at

https://javadbf.dev.java.net/.

They have a free class that does just such a thing. I haven't used it but perhaps it will get you started. Be sure to check the version of VFP tables it will read/write!
