<div>Any one looking for a Standalone Sql server embedded in Exe, alternative, might like to check out this GPL offering.</div>

<div>I used to use the ancestor of this, Turpopower's FastFiler, in D4, and have found this derivative to work well in D2005, and it is said also to work well in D2006</div>

<p align="justify">FSSQL is a professional, compact, open source client/server database engine for programmers developing applications with Borland Delphi or C++ Builder. Because of its open architecture and extendibility, FSSQL easily supports large client/server systems and grows with you as your requirements expand. Because of its small size and speed, the FSSQL Server engine can also be embedded in your stand-alone applications. FSSQL is also an excellent alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE). Since FSSQL is small and doesn't require any external libraries, it is much easier to deploy than other database systems bogged down with run-time files.
<br><br>FSSQL is tightly integrated with Borland Delphi and Borland C++Builder, so you can quickly use FSSQL right out of the box. FSSQL data access components are TdataSet descendants, allowing third-party and VCL components such as TDataSource or TDBGrid to seamlessly connect with FSSQL tables.
</p>
<p align="justify">FSSQL also includes FSSQL Explorer, an application developed using FSSQL Client. It provides database creation, importing, browsing, and maintenance capabilities. With FSSQL Explorer, standard maintenance tasks such as changing the structure of a table can be done at the click of a mouse button. We provide the full source code for FSSQL Explorer so you can use the same techniques in your own client applications. FSSQL gives you the security you need. FSSQL Server can be configured so that all access to data requires the user to log on. For further security, especially across the Internet, data passed between client and server is encrypted. In addition, FSSQL can encrypt physical data on disk. With FSSQL's open architecture and free source code, you can extend or modify the security features as necessary.
<br><br>FSSQL based on TurboPower FlashFiler 2.13 but not compatible. Support for Delphi 5, 6, 7, 2005, 2006, BCB5, 6 </p></div></blockquote>
