if you are using MFC, CRecordset class and its related classes will help.

if you are using win32, you can use odbc and the header file is sqltypes.h and sqlext.h

look here for win32:

CRecordset is nothing but wrapper around these sql functions which you will find in above header files.

i think, odbc can connect to any database. you can also use oci/occi (oracle call interface) for oracle. But i dont know how easy it is to use oci on windows.
