As is often the case things need to be repeated twice before they get
through my skull.

so you want a database library that provides an SQL-like interface to the
application it's part of. how close to SQL does the interface need to be?

does your application need to be able to create tables with arbitrary
numbers of fields of arbitrary type and width? or can you live with tables
that have their format fixed to some extent at compile time?

do you want to index on arbitrary expressions, or is indexing (and basing
relations on) simple fields and compiled functions enough?

It should be possible to take a amall SQL server and modify so that it
loads as a set of library functions and communicates with your application
in na SQL like way, I've not played with multithreading to the extent
needed to tackle that.

actually which features of SQL can you do without.

And for what environment do you want it...   Has Microsoft integrated c#
with visual foxpro, or Access yet?   I know foxpro does some SQL...
