What kind of functionality does he need in this database engine? concurrency, tables, boolean queries, triggers, etc...

If the objective here is to write a database engine which is lighter than what's currently on the market for basic queries, the answer could be right around the corner: use some db lib, like gdbm or berkeley db. Of course, these are written in C, but the later offers a C++ API which can come in handy (don't know about the former).

The more details you give about the project, the more details the newsgroup can give about a solution or book recommendation. Received on Sat Jul 15 2000 - 00:00:00 CEST
