File Database Access Method
-
Hi I involved in a project that will need to create file database for usage.. I know of 2 ways, 1) is to use structure and fwrite, fread to store the database using C Runtime functions 2) Is to use WriteFile And ReadFile to store the database using APIs.. Anyone know about the limitations or problems with this 2 methods or is there a better way of storing file database. the accessing will be quite intensive and i need reliablity, stability and fast access. Anyone that has been using this 2 methods can comment? Thank you for your time and efforts. Greatly appreciated.

Sorry, i did not furish with more details. the target device is on an embedded device with customize Window CE and using embedded Visual C++ 3.0. So i dun think Access is a good choice since memory consideration is critical. i have been using Access on my PC application and it had given me quite a few problems.
