Hello!
I'm currently using the
NexusDB-system,
there is a free embedded version too with no restrictions!
(also full support of transactions)
One of the reason I use NexusDB is the very large pool of
SQL-Statements,
even
SQL 2003 and Nexus-own commands.
And there is a really huge newsgroup with a fast und helpfull support...
Of course, that's only my experience... (ADS is a fine
DB-system too)
I always would recommend to use a database-system for your task,
because with a real database you needn't to load in the whole (uge) file -
after a user has made a database-
query there will be just loaded in
the result you are asked for...
Do not worry about the file size! If you have only text (no media-files)
it's not all to mutch. (And of course you can optimized your table/datafield-
strukture as long until you satisfied)
