Accessing the tables from C

[sanoBabu]

Hello everyone,
I'd appreciate if anyone could point or enlighten me by saying how i
can access the tables from C (or pls send the links that i can read). I
googled a bit to find something called Jet engine database which is
used my ms-access(db manager), but i couldn't find any Jet engine
interface to C code. I was looking for something like say (#include
<jetapi.h>) or something and then use embeded code like "select * from
some_table" within the c code which returns the appropriate field in
the jet db.
Thanks
sano.

Hi
If you mean C++:
Search Google for ADO C++. There are some tutorial articles.
It is also possible using OLEDB, which is probably harder.
Both these will use the usual SQL, it is the method of connection etc
which differ.
If you mean C, you are in for a bit more work. Many years ago I did
this using ODBC but I limited myself to reading whole tables or
queries, ie no cursors.
