hi-
i dont think delphi 7 personal edition will work with sqlite (not 100%
sure though).
i believe i need more than a tdataset that works with sqlite to get it
to work with delphi 7 personal edition.
there is an alternative however. http://ibobjects.com seems to be very
generous with licensing of the products
for a hobbyist as long as you abide by NOT writing commercial software.
It looks like exactly what i was
searching for. I will write the company and see if i can get the
special license. Only thing is i will be using
firebird if i go this route instead. They have a nice brand new manual
at amazon (800 pages) on firebird databases.
I will see if i can go this route. I dont know if i can pull it off.
Nothing beats sqlite and its tcl bindings for ease
of use that i have ever ran across. I will have lots to learn and it
wont be easy (pascal language, code specific to
delphi, ibo components, and firebird). It will take about 2 years of
learning before I probably get the hang of it
(if ever).
thanks for everyones advice.
goodbye,
jim
