Someone recently asked about using SQLite with VFP. I've been monitoring the SQLite mail list and stumbled across a post that referenced the following free ActiveX COM components that provide an ADO-like interface to SQLite databases. "In theory(tm)" this means that one could build VFP based SQLite products using these ActiveX components. Or (in my case) build VFP based utilities to help migrate VFP/DBF applications to their Python/SQLite equivalents.
Here's the links: dhSQLite http://www.thecommon.net/2.html dhRPCServer (see #5 below!!) http://www.thecommon.net/8.html Some cool features about these free components: 1. These are ActiveX components that don't require registry registration - they can be simply copied and used (great for use on locked down clients or servers). The technology behind the registration-less use is described here: http://www.thecommon.net/10.html 2. These components have been tested with WINE and not only work, but perform slightly faster than they do under native Windows. 3. These components are compatible with Windows 98SE through Vista. 4. Performance claims (vs. Access JET/ADO) are quite impressive. 5. The dhRPCServer product provides a multi-user/LAN interface to SQLite databases that is also XCOPY-deployable!! (I like this approach!!!)
