I'm finally catching up on some of my back reading and came across
an article on using ini-files as dB's for cross-platform compatibility in
the Feb issue of The Delphi Mag.
I had done something like this as an alternative to using the
TClientDataSet to create a flat-file system a couple years ago, although my
reasons were quite different. For me it was simply a matter of overhead and
manual editing...I wasn't deploying it across other OS's.
It worked quite well and was more than fast enough for my needs at
the time, however I've always thought that xml would be a much better choice
for something like this. So I'm curious...has anyone done things like this
using xml...Dr. Bob or otherwise...and if so why did you select xml over an
ini-file?
