But, frankly, I am not interested in discussion about better or worse products. If you dislike MS SQL Server, do not use it and recommend something else, and obviously you have to know why you do that. I suggested MS SQL Server, because e.g. it supports import of the MS Access database. Is there the same feature in Firebird? I guess there is no such a thing. And what would be the cost of the development and maintenance of the database with Firebird? You have to understand that there are more requirements than just price of a piece of software.

I need to find the optimal database application that does not reside on a server and is independat like Access. Do you know of any out there?

I'm not sure on it's maximum specs but it is a lot cheaper than investing in the full version SQL Server. You'll find details about it on the Microsoft web-site.

Unfortunantely, there is a 2gb limit. One idea: split the DB into multiple MDB files and LINK the tables into a master database. Basically with this configuration you can still have a single view of the DB but have the data from the various tables spread out. This will not work, though, if you have 1 table that exceeds your 2gb limit. Another idea: most access databases are not designed well (I'm not saying yours is poorly designed, just that this is what i've seen.) You should look at the size of the columns in your tables and see if they can be shrunk. Many DB's I've seen use the default size for text columns which is 50 characters. Often this leaves alot of unused space. Also, look for redundant data and consider normalizing the database a little. (Normalizing has the unfortunante side effect of causing you to modify your code, though.) PM_QS_PAINT question. Michael Liu10-Jul-02 3:54 Michael Liu 10-Jul-02 3:54  In Platform SDK of MSDN, about PeekMessage function: it says we can use PM_QS_PAINT or some other values to specify that only certain message should be processed. But when I use this value, I got complie error:'PM_QS_PAINT' : undeclared identifier. I'm sure I include Windows.h. The other problem I got is I can use SetForegroundWindow()function, but not AllowSetForegroundWindow()function in the same file. I got compile warning:'AllowSetForegroundWindow' undefined. Anyone knows how to fix those. Thx. mIchAel Liu Re: PM_QS_PAINT question. Christian Graus10-Jul-02 4:02 Christian Graus 10-Jul-02 4:02  Michael Liu wrote: PM_QS_PAINT or some other values to specify that only certain message should be processed. Never heard of it. Are you sure it's not an example of a user defined message ? Michael Liu wrote: I got compile warning:'AllowSetForegroundWindow' undefined I have never heard of this either. MSDN says it's defined for Windows ME and 2000 only ( I presume XP has it as well ). This means that any code that uses it will not run on W95/98/98SE/NT and also means you'll need to download the platform SDK ( about 500 MB, also available on CD ) in order to use it.

Michael Liu10-Jul-02 4:18 Michael Liu 10-Jul-02 4:18  PM_QS_PAINT : MSDN give us four values to specify that only certain message should be processed. Do you know how to specify those values? 1. PM_QS_INPUT Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process mouse and keyboard messages. 2. PM_QS_PAINT Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process paint messages. 3. PM_QS_POSTMESSAGE Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process all posted messages, including timers and hotkeys. 4. PM_QS_SENDMESSAGE Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process all sent messages.

Michael P Butler10-Jul-02 4:56 Michael P Butler 10-Jul-02 4:56  If you have an MSDN subscription other than the Library, you should have a CD with the platform SDK.

(should match notepad's behavior of hard line breaks) Issue: just taking the file size and loading does not work because of the \n <--> \r\n conversion. For saving, it seems to double the line breaks, so it's bad again. All I came up was either reading line-by-line, or reading as binary and do the replacements on my own. Which sounds a bit awkward.
