Thread: connecting database to the interface

hell all,

i have been searching for info on binary files but have not been able to find enough info to help me out with my project. could you please let me know of any good internet sources out there?

tnx

hello ppl,
how do i connect database to the interface? is there a specific way of getting the two mixed up. ( i mean, when i receive input on the screen how do i save them into my binary files and the database)

(the interface is built by curses and ncurses and the software is for adding clients and getting there info).

I know this question might not make sense but i appreciate it if you could give me anytype of info(or maybe internet sources that i could refer to )

thanks,

Next time, reply to a thread, don't start a new one

From say

Code:

struct {
   char name[10];
   int age;
} mydb[200];

Which is an array of 200 elements, containing names and ages

To write to a file, do this

Code:

FILE *fp = fopen("file.db","wb");
fwrite( mydb, sizeof(mydb[0]), 200, fp );
fclose( fp );

Reading is the reverse

Code:

FILE *fp = fopen("file.db","rb");
fread( mydb, sizeof(mydb[0]), 200, fp );
fclose( fp );
