One of the advantage off TDBF ( I 'm an user of it ): It dont't need
other than himself. For me this pont is very important, firebird or SQL
engines are not installed on all the computers. Créate fonctions to
export dbf files in other formats like SQL, CSV, Or Firebird is not much
difficult.
Otherwise firebird is also good.
Hello,
Minimizing the requirements of your application is a good thing.
But what you don't seem to be aware of is that embedded firebird is essentially
a set of DLLs (or *.so in linux) and the database file. So you only need to
install a few more files _together_ with your application . And the benefit is
huge: you gain access to all the features of a real database system (with its
sql language, transactions, constraints, etc) without loosing anything .
It's not neccessary to install the whole firebird server on each computer !
This is funny: in this thread i become an advocate of firebird although
in fact i mostly use PostgreSQL . :-)
Cheers !
