I want to make rather simple database, which should store videofiles, and soundfiles. I wanted to use MS Access database (mdb), but this is limited to 2 GB.
I do not want to use server – client solution, cause it should be single application using only local database stored on local harddrive. That’s the idea.
May you give me an advice?
thanx
I’d go with embedded Firebird. You can have a maintenance-free desktop application and if you want you can scale it later on to a full C/S system. Also you have enough libraries (free or not – Zeos, UIB, IBObjects, FIBPlus) to use it from Delphi. Not mentioning that the latest Delphi has a DBX driver OOTB.
Also, having large amounts of data in the database blobs (if you design it right) doesn’t affect the search speed.
