That depends on your need well my suggestions are:- I think stl map [^] will be very well suited, if you have a lot searching operations. Since it is DB table, i think it may be need to have a lot of searching. But if you have add a lot element and no need for searching then list will be better [^].

I'm sure it's not the answer you wanted, but It depends upon your data. It also depends upon how you want to use that data. Start by having a look at something that describes the STL Container types and see if it gives any clues. Is there a reason why you want to put the data in a container?

It really depends on how you want to access table items. Yuo may, for instance use a vector of struct, where each struct contains one row. :)

Often you will have to combine multiple containers as per your requirements. For example to create a 2D array you can use a vector or vectors

vector< vector > a;
