Documentation on Low Level Database Access

[Dalton Calford]

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the pointer.  I will look that up this weekend.
The database I am looking at is called firebird (www.firebirdsql.com).
It has embedded and standalone libs.  Supports windows, linux, osx and ios
along with android.
It is opensource and has native support for c++, c, pascal, .net, jdbc/odbc
etc.
