Hi Rodrigo, Laurent already gave you 3 valuable links to alternatives. Now your question has been asked before and there's lots of stuff in the archives, so here is a link to v12 vs. valentina discussions on direct-l: http://listserv.uark.edu/scripts/wa.exe?S2=direct-l&q=v12+and+valentina&s=&f =&a=&b= From what I understand datagrip offers access to MS access .mdb, last time I checked (which is some years ago) it was somewhat complicate to install. Can't say much about v12, valentina does a subset of SQL, imports data from .csv or via odbc and is astonishingly fast. For a test I imported the text of the king james bible (4.622 KB text data, ca. 5.600 kb valentina data base files, 31.000+ records). A search a la "select * from BibleTable WHERE TextData LIKE 'Thou'" takes 80 - 110 milliseconds on my old athlon tb 800, lots of ram, while "select * from BibleTable WHERE Book='2' AND Chapter='2'" returns after 1 ms. best regards daniel plaenitz [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
