C++ project with online database

[mkahn2]

I am looking to develop a c++ application that interacts with an online sql database. Could someone point me in the right direction on creating a database and code to connect to it from my app?

Any help appreciated

Thanks - Matt

I think it depends heavily on what platform you're writing it for.

Windows? Linux?

Qt is a cross platform development tool that includes lots of different technologies.

Qt comes with it's own IDE - QtCreator

So this just provides access to a DB - that is you write your app with all the forms etc in Qt. You mentioned you want to make you own database as well?

There are a couple of those that come to mind, probably others as well :

MySQL
PostgreSQL

MySQL is probably the easier, and more widely used by web apps (so I have heard).

PostGreSQL is an enterprise level Object-Relational DBMS with all kinds of capabilities & features.

Hope all goes well :+)
