Hi,

I use version 3. Is there a diiference in speed if I execute a query with
TDBISamQuery on a table or the "real" serverversion of DBISam. Is the
diffence big?

Greetings,
Ronald

Ronald,
    How amny people are using the data file at the same time? Is the
data on a local machine? If so, probably the LAN version will be faster.
If the data is on another machine then the C/S should be faster since it
is only transferring a small number of records compared to the LAN
version which transfers the whole file to the client.

Dave is correct.  Direct access works best when the tables are local, but
over a network the database server will be faster than direct execution.
