If you can't do it in C or C++, then have you tried doing it in SQL? I'm
sure you could create
a wrapper in C/C++ for the functions you need which uses strcpy/sprintf to
shift the required
SQL into a string...
[I was in a group that had to do this as part of a University project]

There is an SQL server available on Aminet, but I haven't used it. (mSQL, I
think it is called)

I don't think many people actually use mSQL though (I could be wrong!)
