Is your database static or dynamically changing?
Static pre-allocation of memory and assignment to a pointer is done like thisconst char * str = “hello”that assigns just the right number of bytes
If you have an array of struct, that works the same way the pointer to the statically allocated c-string will be assigned to an entry
struct data_t {
const char * message ;
int x;
};
data_t data[] = {
{“Hello”, 10},
{“World”, 20}
};
For dynamic memory allocation search for malloc()
