C or C++ which is best for database developement?
Honestly, and technically, neither C nor C++ would work for database programming alone. C and C++ are the languages themselves. You'd have to use an API, like Win32 or MFC or .NET, in order to connect to a database. But I think the ATL library includes database connectivity.
Reply:i say you go with c ...


c++ standards are really a mess,


of course it'll be much harder than doin it oop ( with c++)


but it's be better on portability ..


you're code is precious .. man .. don't waste it with c++.
Reply:C++ is better for it.. becoz it is object oriented. and if u know java.. u have no problem with C++.
Reply:Choose C++ because you can use the concepts of OOP i.e. use classes. Also you can employ pointers. In short you can use all the features of C and also include the additional features of C++.
