What is meant by "STL Relational Database" programming?
-
Hello all. I've recently been digging around the job market and several times I've come across programmer positions that are asking for candidates with experience in "STL relational database" development. I'm wondering what exactly is meant by that? In my exposure to STL in general I don't recall coming across anything akin to .NET classes such as DataTable, DataRow, DataSet, etc... So when an employer makes this request, what are they looking for? I can think of two possibilities: 1. Just looking for someone who knows how to establish ODBC connections with STL to retrieve data from a data source (SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, or whatever) and populate simple STL data structures like Lists. 2. Use simple STL structures to actually program an entire database-like series of interrelated classes so that no database is even needed on the back end. Can anyone clarify this for me? Also, can anyone point me to a good, *in-depth* STL resource (websites or published books)? Thanks for reading!
