Just go ahead and re-invent the wheel using open, read, write and
close functions. Most traditional database programs run on square wheels
anyway. With Virtual memory many small business applications
can be stored in arrays, and the database stuff could be thrown away.
DJGPP may have SQL compatible libraries somewhere on the WEB,
If you want to run with an 'embedded' app, try using the exec family of
functions or just 'system' with the right parameter string.
To undertake a project such as you describe requires an in depth
understanding of how the database works. The documentation may
well not be available for reasons of commercial secrecy.
Note that the only default databases provided under UNIX are those
used for really important data such as user lists and their access
privileges. Somehow they did not get into the default release of DJGPP.
