Re: Can we access Databases through C or C++

It depends on the operating system you are using, and sometimes the database. In MS-Windows, the most common way of accessing databases is through the ODBC driver. You can use raw ODBC API functions or one of the serveral free c++ classes found by searching google

Apart from ODBC common libraries, you would get database drivers that comes with the database itself. You can look for those as well.
