Quick question, Why C++?
I think if we knew a bit more on how and where you were going to use this, we could probably help more. Also you may want to figure out what DB engine you want to use ( SQLite, MySQL, etc ).
Don't re-invent the wheel if possible.

How much data are you talking about. Is this a little homegrown type of app or some large thing your talking about.
Object Oriented databases are pretty rare. Versant is about the closest, but your talking commercial stuff here.

What is confusing me here is that the app needs to be written in C++.
That is usually heavy stuff. If that is the only language known, so be it. However, if the author is writing a Windows app, then C# and SQLExpress would work well, and on everything else, SQLite would work well for a DB engine. It may be a case where filemaker might even work, but that exits the realm of free DBs.
I need more info....

Although the others do have a point
Why don't you dump all the structures in a binary file. As long as you use fixed values on array sizes the structures all should be of equal size, making the reading back from the binary file an incremental thing.
