Hi Oak,
As I mentioned previously, SQLite is perfect for this type of project. It is virtually a zero-free maintenance database and updating it is as simple as updating the connector/engine file (1 file)- though it shouldn't need updating.
Our demo stack automatically checks to see if you have the latest update, and downloads it if you don't. You don't even have to restart Revolution after downloading the update.
best,
Chipp

OK, another newbie question. Once you install a program on someone's local machine for win/linux/mac that uses mysql or PG, do you typically notify them of patches to the engine or expect end users to be smart enough to go out and get the patches themselves? It doesn't seem likely that most end users would have any clue how to do this. So if I have a robust application that uses one of these databases, are people required to patch, or since it's a local install can you just toss a database file out there that will respond to sql queries like an access database where it's essentially just a file? (I don't suppose there's a hack to let access databases run on Mac/Linux???)
Thanks,
Oak
