I try to decide if I want a specific field to define as a large String or a Memo. Is there a string size limit, after wich is better to change to memo field? Thanks Sorin Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2005 2:58 pm    Post subject: Re: String or memo Since Borland stopped developing and maintaining the BDE years ago I strongly suggest that you not use it for any new development.

DISQLite3 is a full featured, high performance embeddable SQL engine for Delphi. It is not Borland, but it compiles completely into your application without the need for external DLLs. Also, DISQLite3 Personal is completely free. Interested? Download DISQLite3 from http://www.yunqa.de/delphi/sqlite3/ Regards, Ralf "Bill Todd" <no (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: Since Borland stopped developing and maintaining the BDE years ago I strongly suggest that you not use it for any new development.
