Chris,
I did a trawl to get an alternative to Access a few months and I
selected ADVANTAGE from Extended systems.
Main Reasons:
Ease of integration with Delphi, with connection, table and query
components.
Stable product, with local server free and client/server at a reasonable
price if required. Simple changeover from local to client/server.
Fast and very easy maintenance.
Very good graphical management tool for the lazy creation, managing of
the database tables etc.
Imported my tables from Access.
I have been pleased with the developments to date.
Regards
James Fergus

Hi All,
I've avoided using SQL now for many years as I really don't want to
spend the time to learn that stuff. Flat files or a simple
master-detail are really good enough for me.
But... I need an alternative. I've been using Absolute database but
their filtering performance is well behind the rest. I'm thinking of
Access but I seem to be having trouble using indexes as I get a
"current provider does not support the necessary interface for Index
functionality" error.
Can anyone advise a suitable alternative? I'm using D2005 although I
do have access to D2006.
Standard application for me is a flat file table with 500,000 records
around the 100Mb mark. I need to be able to filter and run analysis
on the filtered table. I use the raw filter strings as this gives me
the most flexibility - perhaps it's just because I'm used to it.
Cheers,
Chris.
