Database Management Library (DBL) is a relational database management system (RDBMS) contained in a C++ programming library. The DBL source code is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
DBL was fully developed within two weeks, as a holiday programming project.
It aims to be easy and simple to use for C++ programming.

Design
DBL is a library and becomes an integral part of the application program. Unlike client-server model database management systems that are standalone process with which the application program communicates. The application software uses DBL's functionality through function calls.

Creating a simple database
This is a basic program that creates a simple database. However, as this task must be done usually once, it can be done by the DBL command-line interface.
- include<iostream.h>
int main() {
database db("mydatabase"
