Are there any database tools library’s for qb64?
-
I don't really know of any libraries specifically made for databases but I do know Fellipe has a good library you could use 'as' a database... kinda...

Kind of a long shot to use as a database but oh whale, do what you gotta do

I did custom database work with VB for MS DOS a graduate of Quick Basic. This was in early 90's.
Two main tools THEN were using Random Access for file Input and Output and Type definitions to define a record.
Type definitions use fixed length strings, so learn or know that too...
So study and practice with those, probably some excellent samples in Wiki.
Probably a ton of new stuff since 90's like accessing standard files such as Excel?
Which I leave to QB64 developer or pro to tell you about.

As limited as the INI format is, it is indeed a database of sorts. It'd be interesting to see how it'd scale in a database application as main storage.

I've seen allot of talk about MySQL, don't know what it is but QB64 has library:

Hi Abramhollon,
There is a QB Framework coded by Galleon for reading data stored in JSON format.
You can find it inside the QB64 source code folder.
