I have only 15 records but each record will have a large amount of data including photographs. Could I use TClientdataset for this application? If not, what would you suggest as an alternative. This is just a small desktop application and I am trying to keep it as simple as possible. Just one screen to input data. Probably just 2 files. One for text and the other for the pictures if I decide to use them. Previously all I've used is the BDE with Delphi. Thanks.

I would not use a CDS for that. Use a database such as Advantage Local Server (free), DBISAM, or NexusDb. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) TeamB cannot answer questions received via email Back to top Wayne Niddery [TeamB] Guest Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2005 6:28 pm    Post subject: Re: TClientDataset in memory tables Art wrote: Quote: To clarify, 500 photographs each about 300k is the total number of photo's for all 15 records. I see no value in stuffing the photos themselves into a CDS. Why not keep the photos separate in their native format and use the CDS to store the location of the photo, and things like caption, date, location taken, etc. -- Wayne Niddery - Logic Fundamentals, Inc.

This application is for a multi-party lawsuit and involves expert's photo's taken by an engineer so I believe there is value in embedding them in a database so they cannot be easily tampered with. Of course an XML TClientdataset would be a poor choice too. I would have used the binary version. In the end I will probably go with the local Advantage database.
