You don't need the 'complexity' of a String class. Simple char* will do. You don't need the complexity of C++, simple assembler will do.
The idea with a relational system is you end up with a simpler rather than more complex design, you don't have to manually setup, link structures, load, etc (which otherwise may get done different ways and then have to go back and figure out how was done). And if you like STL, object oriented, etc., you can layer it on top.
Arrays (such as char* compare to String class) have a way of sometimes leading to stray pointers and crashes after little mistakes.
The reason programs like DBase III and later MS Access became popular for simple jobs was not because people wanted to work harder.

What relational db product are you suggesting that will work across multiple platforms as a general host?
Or are you suggesting that the initial host be a WINx product only and we'll worry about other operating systems at a later point?
