Hi, all
I am looking for a relational database supported by gcc/c/c++ and is
GNU/FSF/OSF type.  It also supports image, user function and user data type.

Any suggestion?
Thanks

MySQL.

I don't know what those are.  See www.mysql.com; or google "mysql+blah".

Only PostgreSQL.

MySQL doesn't support user data types well.

Postgresql supports user data types, and user functions in C, Perl, SQL and
own procedural language. And you can use other compiled languages
as far as they are binary-compatible with C.

Examples are in `<postgresql source>/contrib'.

And i don't know about images. Do you need more than just storage/retrieval ?

Sorry, you're right.  It's free except if you intend to make money off
it, then licences (cheap) and support (cheap) are available.  But the
source is GPL'd; that's what the hubbub between NuSphere and MySQL AB
is all about.

With "text" and "blob" families, why's a user data type necessary?
Sorry, don't know what those are.

That's what "blob" is for.

MySQL doesn't have some things.  Read the manual.  Maybe it can be
worked around.

You can add rational or complex numbers, multidimensional
or spheric coordinates, encryption or compression on fly,
and many other weird things.
