Very Basic Question. Databases

[Wazz]

Hey all,

Amongst other things I have done a very small amout of work with c++. Im possibly at a stage where I can start to learn it again. However, Can c++ be used to make databases? I know that vb can etc but would like to learn c++ as it has more uses. Right?

if someone can help me with my decision that we be great.

Cheers
Wazz

C++ can be used to create databases by using a struct or class to hold the data.
Even better than that is the ability of VC++ (which I assume you are using since you are on the VC++ forum) to work as a front-end for a database. I always use Access since it is so widely used. By using the built-in database classes as your base class, you can quickly create a front-end that doesn't require opening Access itself.
You can quickly get an easy-to-use interface (looks like a form view) and not have to get deeply into Access functions.
