Most databases have it for C/C++ as well. I know InterBase does.

.. I look forward to 3.0 .. with native sql support to query database
tables and arrays.

Some OO-nazis might call it bad design, but I always liked the idea of
having direct database access in the programming language. Makes writing
business applications so much easier if you don't have to create
query/datasets-objects all the time to validate fields and update/delete
records .. and your sql is validated at compile time and not lingering
around in strings waiting to cause exceptions. Oracle Forms Builder is a
good example of that, they already had that concept 15 years ago and
it's one of the reasons why it's still much easier/faster/more robust to
write database centric business applications in Forms rather than in
C/Delphi/VB.

Stefan
