Which database should I use? Any tricks I need to know to access the database from the CD? I have been trying to use Access with an ADODataSet, but application bombs when I try to go through the individual records from the ADODataset. I can display a table with some basic where clause in a DBGRID. Any suggestions?

But to suggest the database I should know the ampount of data that needs to be handled by application. If the amount is reasonable, You could use either Clientdataset in local mode, or some other inmemory datasets (like kbmMemTable). If the application has to handle large amount of data, You should search some more "real" database engine, which is either contained is executable or or very easy to install. Advantage is one possibility, and, if I'm not wrong, Firebird has "embed" option where the whole engine is contained in the gds32.dll... -- Gert Back to top heiko Luettge Guest Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2003 5:00 pm    Post subject: Re: Which DB to Use for CDROM With Interbase (6 and above) you can create readoynl databases Heiko Back to top hclarius Guest Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2003 9:44 pm    Post subject: Re: Which DB to Use for CDROM George Christoforakis wrote: Quote: I've seen a few years ago a telephone catalogue software.

Actually, the problem has to do with putting "some" database on a CDROM and then placing an application which accesses (via TADODataset) the database on the same CDROM. An application which you write to query some table in a simple datbase on your hard drive or even a CDROM with "fixed" designation, may not run properly from the CDROM with the database. I need some code snippet or instructions on how to set the data base and/or application.

The problem had to do with me not setting the proper cursor type and cursor location.
