I need to set up a relational database with four tables, some fields from each table will be used to produce a small fifth table that will be viewed and visualised using BCB. Some of the other data in original four tables will also be displayed on an intranet. For each data entry I would ideally like to store some of the data in an array, although up to now a memo component has been ok. What is the best database for displaying such information? Is Access too basic to contain this information? What is the learning curve like for Interbase? If anyone has any suggestions I would be really grateful. MH

Hi, Marcus! You can use dBase for your purposes, so long as more than one person will not update the database at the same time. If that is not true, you are better off with a Client / Server database like Interbase or SQL Server. It is not hard to learn the latter two, but it is harder than dBase. Make sure you are up on your SQL, though. ------ Mark Cashman, TeamB C++ Builder http://www.temporaldoorway.com/programming/index.htm C++ Builder, JBuilder programming information Home of The C++ Builder Programmer's Webring - Join us! ------

Cheers! Really appreciate the info. Was not sure whether I was being cheeky asking for such advice. Marcus.

But the best place to ask that sort of thing probably is borland.public.cppbuilder.database.desktop, which is the catch all group for database questions. Only multi-tier specific questions should be asked in this group.
