Fred,
   
  EasyTable might be what you are looking for in this process. It allows you to 
place a table in memory and manipulate the table without performing any 
processing of the hard drive.

          Hi All,

Questions:
1. What is the best database to use in the following application? 
2. Could I put the database in RAM memory so the hard drive won't 
be busy?

Application:
I build free submarine simulator software for teachers to teach 
math and science to children. They perform scientific and 
humanitarian missions only! 
The database is dBase (.dbf) with 40 records (20k bytes) which hold 
the location, speed, depth, course, ... for each contact (ships, 
submarines, whales, navigarional aids, ...) The master math engine 
(on CPU 1) updates data once every second, and other CPU's (Radar, 
Sonar, Ships, Submarines, Aircraft, ...) read the data once every 2 
to 8 seconds. I can hear CPU 1 hard drive being very busy. I use 
Delphi 5 and 2006. I suspect there is a better database for my 
application than dBase!
Any thoughts!
