there are several different ways to do this.
1: If it is discrete pieces of data like names, addresses or whatever, you can use a "sqlite" database. No engine needed, just the libraries and one database file. You'll need to know SQL of course.
2: If you're worried about leaving a mess, keep a variable with a list of the file names in it, like $TMPFILES, then at the end, just rm $TMPFILES. Another thing you can do is use $$ to create them. e.g. TMP1=/tmp/$$.tmp
You can use variables if you're not dealing with tons and tons of data.

sc-config
SC-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual SC-CONFIG(1)
NAME
sc-config - script to get information about the installed version of SC
SYNOPSIS
sc-config [--prefix[=DIR] ] [--exec-prefix[=DIR] ] [--version] [--libs] [--cppflags] [--cc] [--cflags] [--cxx] [--cxxflags] [--f77]
[--f77flags]
DESCRIPTION
The sc-config program can be used to obtain the compilers, compiler options and libraries needed to use the SC (Scientific Computing) tool-
kit from your program.
OPTIONS
The sc-config program returns information about how SC was compiled and installed. The following information is available:
--prefix
The directory where SC is installed.
--version
The version of SC.
--libdir
The directory were the libraries are found.
--libs The libraries and library paths needed to link.
--cppflags
The include directories needed to build.
--cc The C compiler.
--cflags
The C compiler flags.
--cxx The C++ compiler.
--cxxflags
The C++ compiler flags.
--f77 The FORTRAN 77 compiler.
--f77flags
The FORTRAN 77 compiler flags.
EXAMPLES
To use the sc-config program to link your executable to SC, use a Makefile for GNU make similar to the following:
SCCONFIG = /usr/bin/sc-config
CXX := $(shell $(SCCONFIG) --cxx)
CXXFLAGS := $(shell $(SCCONFIG) --cxxflags)
CPPFLAGS := $(shell $(SCCONFIG) --cppflags)
LIBS := $(shell $(SCCONFIG) --libs)
myprog: myprog.o
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LIBS)
