Looks like someone is happy with ElevateDB

Julio,

<< ElevateDB from elevatesoft.com. The best Delphi/VCL database ever. >>

FWIW, I really stand behind my comment.

After evaluating and testing ElevateDB for several months, my impression is
that ElevateDB is far ahead of any other Delphi/VCL database engine in terms
of design and quality.

In particular, the design of properly separating the metadata (catalog
support) and the data storage is IMO very good. This design makes standard
database access (like ODBC, OLEDB and ADO.NET) a lot easier.

I think Tim has put in a really good development job with this product, and
the regular ElevateSoft customers should be proud of him.

You aren't kidding (and I'm not just tooting my own horn here .  I'm
almost done with the ODBC Driver, and I swear I've cut out over ~4,000 lines
of code in it, and it was only ~16,000 lines of code in DBISAM.  Sticking
with the SQL 2003 standard has made the CLI fit a lot better, and will allow
the EDB ODBC Driver to port to unixODBC very easily.

Thank you.
