Hi Thank you for the help. It looks fairly uncomplicated this embedded database. Luckily the application we are planning is also supposed to be Open Source and available on sourceforge.net, so there shouldn't be a problem with licensing. The idea is, that the user, on install, gets to choose between a purely client program connecting to a local or remote MySQL database with the benefits that entails (multiple users on the same data and from different places), or a client/server program with the MySQL database embedded in the applications, for the small solutions. Does anyone know if it complicates the code having these two options available for the user? Do the database have the same interface and features available (eg. transactions) in both these two options?
