Hi Tim,

The single file format sounds good.

Will you provide a tool for upgrading databases from EDB2 to EDB3 format?

Of course.  There will be a migrator that will migrate existing databases in a one-click fashion.  None of the code interfaces will change in any significant way - it will be very much like existing EDB 2.x with the TEDBEngine.BufferedFileIO property set to True.

Hi Tim,

I imagine that the single file format is scheduled for EDB 3.xx?

Along with the messaging layer, maybe?

I also want Messaging layer

That is good news.

Will it also be possible to support both versions in the IDE (in my case Delphi)?

I would like also more compression & encryption types for blob: bzip, lzma and index/row compression.

Thank you

I didn't forget about this.  My original attempts at doing this with the current thread-per-connection model weren't particularly successful, so I need to revisit this and see if I can't get something working.

AES is coming, but I can't say for sure on any other compression types at this time.

That will probably be a bit more difficult, and you may need to do the "design-time package shuffle" in order to use both at the same time.

Nice, also think about adding hardware support for the supported CPU if it's possible.
