Hello all, Has anybody had experience accessing MySQL tables via MyISAM library? I'm working on an application that has to have both SQL-like and ISAM-like (file-level) access to the table data. I thought that using MyISAM directly would be a good idea. If anybody has any better suggestions, I am all ears. Also, I was wondering if it's possible to use Berkeley DB tools and libraries to access MySQL data files, which are set to use BDB as the storage engine. If it is, can somebody point me at some examples (except what's in the source already). I have read several posts on the list from Sinisa and Sergei concerning use of HANDLER keyword, and there was one in early 2001 in which Sergei said that syntax for HANDLER WRITE and HANDLER DELETE was implemented as well. He then went on to say that he was wrong and only the read access was implemented via HANDLER. He also said that this might be a project for the future. Has there been any progress in that area? Thanks in advance. Regards, Mark. P.S. Both C/C++ and Delphi examples/URLs/pointers/ideas will work.
