Description

ADColls is small but very fast and flexible local database management system with a limited support of multiuser access. This is object-oriented database. The main concept is borrowed from Turbo Vision (the object-oriented extension of Turbo Pascal). All information is stored into the objects (the analogs of records). Objects are grouped into the collections (the analogs of tables). Each collection can has many indexes (sorting orders), supports effective searching and selecting methods and many other features. The work of this unit based on quick sorting algorithm, binary search and memory mapped files. Now included a rough (machine) English translation of interface part of the library.

Delphi makes the construction of Windows applications easier than ever. In particular, the Borland Database Engine (BDE) offers enormous power with great ease. Sometimes, however, the full might of the BDE is overkill. Wouldn't it be better for your simple projects to use a simple tool, one that could be distributed inside your EXE and didn't require enormous DLLs to function? The QDB components offer fast, indexed access to a flat-file database of variable-sized items. QDB is quick, easy to use, and comes with full installable help.

Description

This is a professional product that enables full data surgery and staking of component and file data. Objectives are to save development time and hassles that you have with TMemoryStream by offering a stream object, with a few simple powerful procedures. Simplifies data storage by adding a integer to record data size to enable stacking of component data and a extra integer can be added for file error checking. Fully compatible with TFileStream so once size and data is accumulated to stream it can be stacked to file to save memory. Ideal base component to make the ultimate data buffer and code supplied for simple way to read file header data effectively with a Delphi record. You cannot get any simpler than this product for all file handling as TBaseStream is a fully working stream with simple easy and very powerful procedures that gets the job done.

Added is TSpeedBase that is a small virtual database object. Accessing data is as nearly as fast as accessing code and can grow to 2 gig in size. Ideal to store project information as it stores all integers (in64), cardinals, Characters, fixed limit strings to 255, pointers, Booleans. Save to steam or file for reloading. Compatible with all versions of Delphi, comes as a single Stream.dcu file.

Description

A TDataSet decendant for Delphi 3.0 which pulls together various sources from the Delphi community to produce the ability to access a custom binary data file. The advantage of this component is that there are no required DLL's, and the component has been optimized for speed on a local machine.

This update corrects a bug in dynamically creating tables at runtime.

Currently there are no routines to perform multi-user record locking, as this component was designed to be used for temporary lookup tables.
