plz i need some advice on c++

I'VE JUST STARTED PROGRAMMING, WHICH I HAVEN'T DONE SINCE THE OLD BASIC.
I'VE CHOSEN C++ AS THE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE CHOSEN
THE RIGHT PATH .
MY AIM IS TO CREATE DATABASES FROM SCRATCH WITHOUT HAVING TO USE ACCESS.
WHAT I NEED IS INFORMATION ON C++, WHICH COMPILERS TO USE AND IF IT IS OK TO
START WITH C++ OR BETTER TO WITH A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE BEFORE PASSING TO C++.
CAN YOU ADVISE ME?

Hi Ioannis!
So, there is not any "C++ counterpart" of ADO .NET.


The origin question was about:
"Learnin an language to make database access"

Therefor I recommended C#, because from my point of view it is easier
than C++. But this is my private opinion; and you have an other; so this
is no problem.
The standard-way for accessiong databases in C# (or .NET) is ADO.NET;
therefor I recommended ADO.NET.

If you want to access databases from "native" C++, you need also some
database-interface. This is what I meant with "C++ counterpart of ADO.NET".
And one interface is ADO:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...oftvisualc.asp
Or use any other interface you want:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...dataaccess.asp

But this is my personal opinion.

Hi, I'm need some advice about lists and vectors. I'm doing a program who needs to have sequential access of a non ordered unit of objects whose size decreases almost each time the sequence is finished (at the begining I have about 2500 objects in the unit, after the first acces I have 2499, then 2435, then 1720 and so on). The problem is that sometimes after a whole sequence the number of objects in the unit remains unchanged. After...
