Hello, I am looking for information on public SQL databases.  I am an
experienced software engineer wioth a brief period of of MS Access
development and SQL but have not done any hard core DB development.  

I have a project at home in which I wish to use a SQL database as a
back end to an application written in MS C++.

I am not familiar with the options out there for SQL servers and am
looking for any information anyone may be able to provide.   My
requirements include:

1) As this is a home project -- cost, aka. free :)

2) Supports a C++ API

3) Runs on Windows 9X/NT  (and a bonus if it runs on Linux as my goal
is a cross platform application)

4) Simple.  I do not requrie complex database functionality, just the
basics but more than enough to warrant me not writing my own.


If anyone could reccoment any that may fit this description I would be
extremely gratefull.

thank you,

Kevin King
