ODBC maybe a good choice (for instance, MySQL has an ODBC Connector[^]).
What is the database do you intend to use?

ODBC is a good option as CPallini mentioned as it's actually part of the SQL standard. If a manufacturer wants to have a standard conforming RDBMS then they have to supply an ODBC driver/implementation.

That's the good news, the bad news is that most manufacturers don't give it their full attention (as it allows code to be portable and moved to a competitors DB) so they sometimes have weird bugs.

Having said that if you can get an ODBC library for your OS and an ODBC driver for your DB then it's the way to go as your code will be a lot more portable.

Cheers,
