    Use a Comma Seperated File for the records and then using the comma and the newline operator as a delimiter you can read the data in.

    If you want to connect to the database directly there are many ways to do this and depends on the platform.

    On Windows flavors you cud use the OLEBD object collection to read data from the database or any file.

    In Unix you cud use the Rogue Wave libraries that cud help you to read the data from a file.

    Hope this helps.
