Flash filer is ok, but you are better off with SQLite for most purposes these days. 2012/10/23 22:25 "Graeme Geldenhuys" : > Hi, > > Yeah, a catchy title! ;-) > > I want to know if anybody here has ever used FlashFiler in Delphi.

We have an application that can be deployed in two ways. Client/Server which uses Firebird RDBMS and Apache Web Server. We also want to deploy that app as a single-user stand-alone app. We already have a built-in web server - now we are looking at a built-in (compiled-in) database server. I'm thinking in lines of something more modern that TDbf for example.

SqLite source can be downloaded and compiled with a C compiler (e.g.
CBuilder) and its .lib file linked directly in a Delphi application
using the {$L} or {$LINK} directive. Is FPC capable of linking a .lib
file?

Re: [fpc-pascal] TurboPower FlashFiler for Free Pascal
I would say it's a decent database as nexus db for Delphi is a fork of it. But why not use sqlite? It can be fully embedded as well, there is at least 1 Delphi sqlite component set that does not require the sqlite dll.
