I have a web app which through a .dll ( vb6 dll, YES VB6, please don’t ask why – lol ) connects to an ms access file where it makes some queries and presents data to the user.

the db file ( ms access ) is simple: it has 1 table with about 8 columns, and ~300.000 entries and some stored queries. So it is a medium size database.

Now, since most of the queries are kind of long ( 1 – 3 seconds ) What I’m looking for is, if there is some other FASTER database solution with SQL syntax. All queries are READ-ONLY.

requirement: must be able to connect to it through vb6

BONUS POINT: if there is no need to run a daemon ( as in a server ) but it’s just a simple file ( sqlite maybe, mongo ? )

thanks in advance!

    Try SQLite : http://www.sqlite.org/about.html and ODBC driver. Has read-only mode. Also, what you might like – may read data from a CSV file.

    Or JavaDB and JDBC-ODBC driver.
