No it did not. Actually, I'm not aware of any free compilers that do.
As for commercial compilers, each vendor usually only provides native access
for whatever database they are pushing. (i.e. VC++ has JET, BC++ has
Interbase, etc.)
If you want to access something else, you typically have to resort to ODBC
or third party libraries.
Make sure you fully understand that you are using a ***DOS*** compiler
under NT, and that there are win32/NT ports available out there. (i.e. you
are *not* going to able to take advantage of the winNT/API, or win32
libraries. You could switch to cygwin or mingw and not have that problem
though.)

I'd recommend news:comp.databases, news:comp.databases.oracle, etc. There
might be someone there who has the answers you seek, not to mention their
FAQs which may be useful as well. Or you could do what I would do if I was
going to do your searching for you, and just go to Google, altavista, etc.
Anyways, good luck.
