I would take a look at Mini SQL (or mSQL). It is a small database which meets your requirements except for multiple keys. It is VERY simple. The access language is SQL and it has a nice C API. It is shareware for commercial usage. It can be fetched from ftp://ftp.bond.edu.au/pub/Minerva/msql I have no conenction other than a very satisfied user. I am using for some simple databases to keep track of my in-house equipment and also some WWW CGI stuff. -- Patrick Landry pml@cacs.usl.edu The Center for Advanced Computer Studies at The University of Southwestern Louisiana
