I am developing a project for school and I am just wondering what are the best practices in regards to storing user information in a database. Also if I have a mysql database do I just include the .sql file containing the table scripts and include the mysql library in the makefile? I think I am on the right path but am having a hard time grasping the concept. This isn't really a syntax issue but more of a system design issue.
I have a hard time finding information on packaging c applications on google. Whenever I try to search online it always points to c#.
I created a project and included the mysql library in the makefile and it works. I am just wondering if it will work if I send the file to another computer. I only have one and cant test it out.
