Hi Mike,
There are some reasons for me to prefer older versions:
   

Ahmet,
Good points, but there are several strong reasons to prefer Sqlite 3.0.
Some of the ones which matter to me are:
1. Supports blobs.
2. Supports case-insensitive comparison.
3. Doesn't store everything as strings (saves space).
I also have a simple Sqlite 3.0 wrapper for D7:

Hi Tim,
Of course, you're right! They are all important points in general.
But, in my case now, I have no need  for blobs, and no large spaces.
Anyway, it would be quite nice if I could make case-insensitive 
comparisons; but it is not a must.
In my previous project  I had used some database components in order to 
access MSAccess, and bind it to a TDBGrid. I will gain some time if I 
can use some ready and tested components in my project.
Last week I've tried Aducom components for version 2.8.x, and 3.x.
Old version works nice with the examples, but I couldn't obtain similar 
results for the new version.
I also tried Zeos components for version 2.8, but I could not succeed 
even opening existing databases.
Also, I didn't try to convert my existing MsAccess tables yet.  I think 
it will show me the required choice.
I will check your wrappers also, as soon as possible.
Are there any sample databases and/or sample projects for Delphi on the 
internet which I can download ?
Thanks a lot.
