delphi database

[ashley]

hey everyone

i'm in the early stages of designing an application that will be installed on 5 workstations. each application installation will access data from a database stored from a central computer.

i was thinking of making this database in MS-Access, but i'm not overly sure. should i stick with Access, or maybe look at something else like Paradox?

cheers

Well, the simple answer is Access. However, if there is going to be a large work load put on the database, you may consider using a server type database, like MySQL. It can install on Windows or Linux.

If you have Delphi 6 or higher, you could use the dbExpress components to connect to the MySQL server.

A big plus is that MySQL is free.

Just my thoughts.
