By the way i have no experience with databases except db for windows.I'm using BCB 6.0.Here is what i am looking for from a db system : 1.I want my database accesible from web.Should i use sql for it? This is *very* vague. 'Accessable from the web', in what form? How? Do you run apache? Do you want to use cgi-bin, or module? Quote: 2.I want secure database(can be protectable with password) Why do you want protection? In other words, against what are you trying to protect? Quote: 3.I don't want to redistribute BDE anymore or any other db engine.(if possible) Does this mean an in-EXE solution? Quote: 4.Fast and MultiUser capable. Who wants a slow database engine? ;) Regards, Micha.

It works on local workstations, or remote servers, or across the web. Quote: 2.I want secure database(can be protectable with password) ADS has encryption at record, table and data directory levels. Plus has compression. Quote: 3.I don't want to redistribute BDE anymore or any other db engine.(if possible) The only files that get installed are 2 or 3 DLLs. I don't no if anything gets installed if you are using it va the web. I have never used it that way. Quote: 4.Fast and MultiUser capable. Its very fast and it can handle allot of users.

Quote: Can Advantage read DBF and other db files or is it a special file format that you have to convert all the previous tables to? It supports FoxPro and Clipper dbf files, as well as its own proprietary file format. It can also share dbf files with other non-Advantage applications if necessary (although you give up some of the performance enhancements and data integrity).
