If you want to use ODBC Visual C++ allows access via COM.
Some databases provide an API or a precompiler for regular C. Oracle and Sybase provide this - they call windows drivers for you. You write a Windows wrapper for in any language these calls. Or use a product like Oracle forms to create windows.

To give a good answer to you -
What db are you using?
Is the PC a client or is the DB server resident on the PC?
What database?

fbsql_database_password - Sets or retrieves the password for a FrontBase database

SYNOPSIS
string fbsql_database_password (resource $link_identifier, [string $database_password]) DESCRIPTION
Sets and retrieves the database password used by the connection. If a database is protected by a database password, the user must call this function before calling fbsql_select_db(3). If no link is open, the function will try to establish a link as if fbsql_connect(3) was called, and use it. This function does not change the database password in the database nor can it be used to retrieve the database password for a database. PARAMETERS
o $ link_identifier -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified, the function will try to find an open link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it will try to create one as if fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. o $database_password - The database password, as a string. If given, the function sets the database password for the specified link identifier. RETURN VALUES
Returns the database password associated with the link identifier. EXAMPLES
Example #1 fbsql_create_clob(3) example <?php $link = fbsql_pconnect("localhost", "_SYSTEM", "secret") or die("Could not connect"); fbsql_database_password($link, "secret db password"); fbsql_select_db($database, $link); ?> SEE ALSO
fbsql_connect(3), fbsql_pconnect(3), fbsql_select_db(3). PHP Documentation Group FBSQL_DATABASE_PASSWORD(3)
