[OT] Database access with gtkmm application?

["Jef Driesen" <jefdriesen hotmail com>]

A few years ago, I have written a windows application in Visual Basic. Since 
I'm (slowly) moving to linux, I want to rewrite it. For the GUI part, gtkmm 
seems a good choice (seems easy to use and cross-platform). But what are my 
options for the database part? Under windows, I have used the Visual Basic 
database classes with an MS Access database.
