It should be able to be compiled into the application (or into dlls), so that the end user is not required to start a server application first. Example of what I want to do: Create an index of all files in a given filesystem tree, calculate the md5 sum, store filename, size, md5 and path into the database. Later, the application should try to determine if any files were moved or renamed. So it calculates the md5s of all files again and compares them to the stored values from the database. I don't need any fancy stuff: no data-aware components, no transactions, no multi-user capability, no fulltext search, not much at all - just a way to hold some data in some tables and retrieve them in a "SELECT * FROM x WHERE md5='y' AND filesize='z'" way. I probably won't even need JOINs. Of course, free and/or open-source solutions would be most welcome If it does not require the BDE, that's an extra bonus. I already found "FlashFiler" and tried it, but it's already much more complex than what I need.

Advantage Database Server might be another one to look at, and the local server is free.

Firebird, the fork of Interbase6, it have the "dll" embedded version. http://firebird.sourceforge.net/ http://www.ibphoenix.com/ forrest gump Back to top Carlos Ojea Guest Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2004 12:00 pm    Post subject: Connecting to PostgreSQL database with kylix3 Hello: I my linux system I have kylix3 installed and a PostgreSQL database. I made a SQLConnection object with this settings: Connection Name: PostgreSQLConnection DriverName: PostgreSQL Hostname: postmaster -D /home/carlos/programacion/compulab/buques/database/ Database: buques_db Then, with the 'object inspector' I tried to make 'Connected' True, resulting in this error message: dbExpress Error: Invalid Username/Password I don't understand why of this error message. Username and Password are correct, and the same used to install kylix and to make PostgreSQL database.(Username/password for root don't work either). Any ideas?
