Ok, I am very new to all of this database business, so if I am not making sense just bare with me. What I am doing is writing a C++ program using embedded SQL to pull in data from my database. What I am confused on is how exactly this database is stored. For instance, if I need to run this program on a computer that does not have oracle, is it possible to use this database? (i.e. is there a way to have the database created and not be connected to oracle to use this database in my C++ program)? If this is not possible, would I be better off using Access, which is more available?(Also, is it possible with Access to write embedded SQL and pull info from Access databases?) Thanks for the help.
