Craig,

thanks for the reply. I will check out NexusDB!

Let me clarify a few things from my earlier post

1. For what I need to do - multiple DB support is going to be fairly easy. Very simple SQL - and I have a way of supporting the different SQL Syntaxes if it arises. However, I will check out RemObjects - thanks.

2. The mention of TQuery was just a note about not having to have special TDataset components to access the DB. I am thinking on using dbExpress - as this is in Delphi 6 & 7 - so all I would need is a dbExpress driver for the database. I am open to other technologies here as well.

Make sure you get a third party driver and you may want to use dbExpressPlus. It will relieve you of the need to use RemObjects.


3. What about FireBird? It seems to meet a number of the things I am looking for - any thoughts on that one?


That is the one I was going to suggest. They have an embedded version, one DLL and you are done. I use the Upscene drive and it works great.
