## Overview

A small interactive C++ record manager: it loads records at startup, accepts menu commands to add, search, modify, delete, or display them, and saves changes to Data.txt. The single source file contains the menu, record operations, in-memory table, and file persistence. Relationships below follow calls visible in main.cpp; the README is empty.

Main entry points: [`main.cpp`](https://github.com/samrinjenesh-svg/cli-based-database/blob/main/main.cpp) (Menu loop)
