- You might try the book available from M&T Publishing, entitled 'Database
- Programming in C'. It takes you through the steps of creating a relational
- database in C, including the complete source code for CBase. It is written
- by one of the editors of Dr. Dobb's Journal.
-
- Other honorable mentions include database source code generators. One
- well-known database generator, that is fairly cheap if you can find somebody
- that wants to sell you their old copy, is Pro-C, originally by Vestronix, more
- recently by Pro-C Corporation. It was originally developped by a British
- company, but has since passed through the hands of two Canadian companies.
- It is an excellent program, and versions were available for DOS, XENIX/386,
- QNX, and UNIX. It allows you to create databases using the following
- database formats:
- ISAM
- dBase III+
- Delimited ASCII
- Novell bTrieve
- Pro-Tree
- C-Tree
-
- It is however, no longer produced, but as I said if you can find somebody
- willing to sell you their copy of it, it's an excellent program. It also
- includes the complete K&R C source code to their libraries. I picked up
- my copy for $40Cdn, however, it was $500 if you bought it new.
-
- The DOS version supports Microsoft C, Turbo C, Borland C, Lattice C, Zortech C,
- and Watcom C.
