How to organize work with databases in a C++ application?

Question

C++ / C#

There is a prototype application in QT and C ++ to take into account the tasks of a technical support specialist. In fact, the data is stored there while the application is running. It is proposed to deploy a MariaDB database on the server and write to it. But I doubt that it makes sense, because the application is used by 1 person. How can you imagine data storage? Or is it better to use SQL right away? If the modified prototype suits the authorities, other specialists will also use it.

Answer 1

Use MariaDB and any ORM. You yourself said if you like it, it will go into the series.
Another question is why a desktop and not a web application.
And most importantly, why write YATS 100500 times? There are literally thousands of them on the market.

Answer 2

It is proposed to deploy a MariaDB database on the server and write to it. But I doubt that it makes sense, because the application is used by 1 person.

If you don't want to bother with a database server, then use SQLite with ORM , then if you need to migrate to PostgreSQL or MariaDB.
But I think it's better to use a normal DBMS right away.
