Hi  , though i was thinking XMLs are the answer to store data i was wrong in the case of Mobile Pocket PCs as it somehow has trouble writting the file. If the file size is larger than 200KB then i wouldnt suggest XML. Recently i wrote a solution which tends to have problem appending data where reading goes fine but writting back fails some times. Test before u think of implementation on XML throughly (Mobile Devices).

Here, if you are interested[^]. Do I like it? No. Thankfully, it is deeply buried under three abstraction levels, so I don't need to handle it directly. In fact, I don't like MySQL at all 
Historically, I have used ODBC (through MFC and DTL), ADO, OLEDB templates (these are nice), ADO.NET, Berkley DB API, even some JDBC.

Long back, for my first job, I had to write a wrapper class (on Linux with GNU C) to handle Postgres and MySQL natively Wasn't fun - incorrect and vague documentation, and not much online info. Luckily the wrapper didn't have to be comprehensive as the database requirements were rather simplistic.

Luckily, I didn't have to do that - the wrapper was already in place when I joined the team. Of course, I still need to construct some ugly SQL queries now and then (for some reason, we don't use stored procedures, although they are available with MySQL 5.x), but it is far from being my main responsibility

On the other hand, if you've learned one SQL API, you pretty much know them all. At least when it comes to the C-based ones. I have yet to find an API which is radically different than all other APIs.

^ true... however i found the MYSQL C API pretty easy to get going with.

what's the choice when you use XML as a storage medium ?

Is XML a database server? The question would appear to be aimed at developers using database servers like SQL SERVER and ORACLE, rather than a question about general data access.

The poll is about database access, not persistance .. so the missing option is "I don't use databases, you insensitive sod"

- Never done databases.
Besides, databases are for girls. Real men never do databases. 
this is this.

Your app forgets everything on shutdown then does it? Or do you reinvent the wheel and implement your own persistance system?

text file is also database, right? Where you store your data at it.
