I am new to EDB.  I'll be grateful if anyone can answer my questions:

1.  If I buy the SRC-CS version, can I customize the Server program myself and distribute it with my application?  Or is it straightforward to build a db server from the EDB components?
2.  The website says that ElevateDB does not use any direct pointer access or memory manipulation under .NET, making it 100% managed code.  Does it mean I can compile the whole thing
in D2006.NET and it will work?
3.  The website also says that there will be a .NET version following this release.  Is it just for the client side or the server itself will also be .NET?
4.  Will be .NET version run on MONO too?

Yes, you may.

Sure, it's pretty easy to do so.  You can see how easy by looking at the
edbsrvr.dpr project that we provide the source code for in the
\servers\edbsrvr\source sub-directory.

Not yet, but soon it will be able to.  VCL.NET support is being worked on
right now and will be available within the next couple of weeks.

<< 3.  The website also says that there will be a .NET version following

The server "out-of-the-box" will still be a Win32 application, but could
create your own 100% .NET server using EDB if you wanted to.

<< 4.  Will be .NET version run on MONO too? >>

I can't say for sure at this point.  Once EDB is running under vanilla .NET,
we will be doing complete platform tests for CF and other environments.

Tim,

Thanks for the reply.  I've just bought the CS-SRC version.  Keep up with the great work.

Nice looking software. It would be nice if you had face recognition so
you could authorize or ban certain people entering your facility.
