sqlite is a sweet little answer to database storage for stand-alone applications. CppSQLite is the best C++ wrapper I found (NOTE: there are many). I didn’t find any quick instructions to get the C code statically linked into a Visual Studio 2005 C++ app, so here they are. At the end, I had all the code wrapped nicely into my application with a size increase of 132kb – and no dependencies! Whoop.

From the “hard drive killer” department…

I used to use all the beta Microsoft products, now I find it more efficient to move up when I’m ready – and when things have matured. However, a look at the boost regression tests shows that VC7.1 support is getting a bit lean, at least for the serialization library I use. So… time to move on up. Here is how the upgrade from 7.1 to 8.0 went for my HangTheDJ project… (continued…)
