Database choice ???

Hi all !

I need to develop a software which uses 3 or 4 databases. I want it to be
smallest as possible. Is this possible to use database without using DBE ?
If yes, how or where I can find examples or documentation ? I'd like to use
Paradox or Access....

Thanks alot

Try a look at dbISAM from eversoft.  No BDE, and the database engine
compiles directly into the app.  Robust, supports SQL, and works with all
Delphi native db-aware components.

If your databases are really small, you could also use Pascal's "file of
records" to read/write binary files in the record format of your choice.
You would need to write simple routines to insert/delete/append/find
records.
