Yes, but it you right the component around TdataSet you get to use all of the great database functionality that Borland's VCL offers, as well as tons of 3rd party components.

In fact I avoid TDataSet because I have no need for everything it offers. I just wrote my own code around the sqlite.dll and then wrote a component around that to make it a bit more robust. Basically the same way you'd do it in C. Delphi is a great language to learn if you want to write up some quick apps in windows/linux. If you're looking to distribute source code, then the most universally known language would be C obviously. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
