    Well, er, I'm not sure if this is Unix compatible, and if not, sorry, but you could just make a file that holds all the info.
    Code:
    ofstream out("dataBase.dab",ios::app);
    out << data << endl;
    ...
    ifstream in("dataBase.dab");
    in >> data >> endl;

    The window and unix compatibility is the problem here, I dont know of any which cover both (except if you was to use java)

    I needed to make a database for my game before. Sounded too hard, so I just made classes and used that for it. It's pretty effective I think.. but still not as easy to update as a database.

    If you think I may need help, please IM me.
