Dear Folks,

I am in big trouble and dont know really where to ask. I have been a
graphics programmer for some years with some experiences in OpenGL and
OpenSG...and now I got a programming task with databases...I must say I

never coped with databases before.


I have to write an application that should read out and write on a
database. The system should work like that: You have a GUI were you can

choose concepts/words i.e. "Computer". If you click the word a window
should open and provide you with information about "computer" in form
of texts and pictures from a database. Furthermore you should be able
to create new concepts, i.e. "calculator" and enter informtaion, choose

pictures, etc. And all of this should be stored in the database then.


I would like VC 2003 and MFC to create the GUI. My question is now if
somebody can provide information which database system can be used and
if there is a possibility to steer it with an API out of my GUI
(something like an MYSQL++ - API). I dont know if this exists but it
makes
sense probably to use an objekt orientated database that can store
pictures and movies, too.


Many thanks
Rich
