Well, I will give an example. I will use Windows Live Messenger(MSN Messenger). It obviously uses some sort of database that holds all the id's and passwords, and stuff like that. But one how would I be able to read from the database if I made a program like that?

You would have to reverse engineer MSN Messenger because there's no doubt it uses encryption on its stored username/password combinations.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear what I wanted to do. I wanted to make a program that uses a database. I just dont know how to use the database.

Create your own file format that could hold many usernames/passwords or use a documented one (ini, xml)

some reason i feel smart msn has a data base that keeps updating its self . its encrypted with high security if you got in you couldn't read it cuase it all comes out coded. so don't think your special.

Oh and you girl are dumb please xml ini lolz

Back to the actual question...

Look up "CSV" (comma seperated values) - this would be the flat-file approach, though I doubt msn does that.... It'll be easier to implement in c/c++ than an actual database.

If you're talking about the server-side of things, then look into SQL and the likes.
