Question: Why not use the totally free version of C++Builder and just create a VCL component for SQLite -- the VCL component can then be used from either C++ Builder or Delphi.

With personal edition you should have all you need to develop an API level interface to SQLite, if you wish to remain totally "free." If you have any past programming experience, you will be doing productive work with Delphi long before two years. I'd guess two to three months if your not in a hurry. API interface development may take a little longer. Should you wish to go professional an upgrade to Delphi Professional will only cost you 300 - 400 dollars. When I quit professional development that was about an afternoon's work revenue, if I took off a little early :-) Fred > -----Original Message----- > From: jim mcnamara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 5:26 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [sqlite] re: academic software licensing (delphi) > > > hi- > > i dont think delphi 7 personal edition will work with sqlite (not 100% > sure though). > i believe i need more than a tdataset that works with sqlite to get it > to work with delphi 7 personal edition. > there is an alternative however. http://ibobjects.com seems to be very > generous with licensing of the products for a hobbyist as long as you > abide by NOT writing commercial software. > It looks like exactly what i was > searching for.
