Standalone Windows Application using Visual C++ and SQL DB is possible?
-
Nice to meet you guys, It's been a long time since I developed a program. Now I need to build a simple register program that needs to be a standalone exe running on Windows 7 and above. Is this possible? if yes where do I start? I want to use (and learn) Visual C++ in the process. My best regards, Rodolfo

that really depends on what you mean by 'standalone' - I'll assume unless otherwise corrected you mean as in 'not connected to a remote database ie on another machine in a network' .. in which case, yes, very possible - there are versions of MSSQL that are light enough, there's SQLite and plenty of other databases you can deploy with your application for a 'standalone' install - the decider between databases is/are the usual questions concerning databases how ? make google your friend - read voraciously - trawl CP for example projects - find an example that you 'grok' and use it as a model for your own case - the only way to learn is to do. When you have specific issues, there are forums here you can post technical issues on
