[Qt-interest] Data Storage for QT Application

[Chitrang Srivastava]

Thanks All,
I tried QSetting

my data is Country/Capital pair and number of entries can go upto 10-20.

setValue("Country/Name","France")
setValue("Country/Capital","Paris")
setValue("Country/Name","Japan")
setValue("Country/Capital","Tokyo")

Now with QSetting it always overwrite the key Country/Name  with latest
value.
This isn't I was looking, is their way in QSetting to works as database with
multiple value for same key?

Basically I am looking for mini database  in which I can read-all , insert
or search-and-delete a row.
Do you guys think their is a way to do in QSettings ?
Or I have to use some other API.
I dont want to use QSql (may be bulky for this small data).

-Chits
