[DUG] Datebases with Delphi

[Jeremy Coulter]

I too develped using the ElevateDB predecessor, that was, until I tried to 
use it in a client server arrangment, and THEN it all turned to POOH !!!  
It had SERIOUS issues with indexing, and in some cases, it would transfer 
around the entire table to update just ONE field !
It was at that point I went back to Faithfull old Access, but I use the 
Titan native access Access controls, although now we are looking at moving 
over to MS SQL 2005 Express, I need to convert them over to ADO, but thats 
another story :-)

ElevateDB comes with a tool for creating / modifying the database, SQL
testing, creating triggers, stored procedures and functions, views
etc. It can also create in-memory tables that interact with external
tables in the same way as any other ElevateDB table.

I once wrote a SQL tool for its predecessor DBISAM that can
modify/create tables with SQL calls and scripts etc. It can then
transfer the SQL to/from Delphi code - www.trader.co.nz/tools - I'm
currently (slowly) changing it for ElevateDB and adding graphical (MS
Access-like) table manipulation and SQL building.
