    suitable? What are your requirements? Commented Feb 7, 2011 at 1:47
  • Pretty much all of them are suitable :) If you want to just learn the ropes, stick with SQL Server Express, since it comes with VStudio (or can be downloaded for free), requires very little configuration and has a pretty advanced SQL (you hear me, SQLite?). Commented Feb 7, 2011 at 2:06

Your choice of a database is fully dependent on your requirements. SQLite offers a nice and simple interface.

Beginners to Microsoft C++ should probably stick with SQL Server Express, since it is designed specifically to work with Visual Studio.

If you need a local database just for your application then check out SQLite. They have a C++ library that is quite easy to use and you interact with it via normal SQL syntax.

Most, if not all, popular DBMS provide a C connector. Some even provide a C++ one (generally a wrapper of the C driver).

So, I suggest you start by looking at which DBMS you want to use, then browse their documentation for how to obtain and use their driver.
