   The title pretty much says it all.  I am looking for suggestions for
   a database library package with the following features:
    * compatibility with Borland C++ (many packages seem to be MS-C only)
    * comprehensive query support.  At this point, I'm not too pickly
      about the form that this query must take, but I need to be able
      to do ALOT more than simple searches.
    * royalty free distribution.
    * built-in network support would be nice...

   Have I just eliminated every database library on the planet?  If not,
   let me know what is left.

   Thanks,

I don't think so, just all the cheap solutions.  Borland has just the
product for you, paradox 3.5 (or the rumored paradox for windows) and
the paradox toolbox.  Basicaly the paradox toolbox is the all the run
time calls that paradox uses, so you can do what you want.

Now, how much will that set you back?  Well, the toolbox is about
$100, and if you get a special, paradox is about $150, but lists for
something outragious like $795 or so...

I only have the paradox toolbox version 1.0, which is C only, and I
believe that the only signifigant restriction over the normal borland
license agreement is that you say you won't build another paradox
program.

I don't work for borland, just happy with their products.
