Hi, I've created an application using MySQL n Delphi 5, I now would like to create a cut down version, which i can distribute to customers where they just install the App and nothing else, basically im looking for a database that can totally be embedded into my application or a .dll, so that no extra installs or files need to be install. Ive heard of a product called SQLite, but no1 was prepared to recommend it as theyve never used it before. Have you used it?? Would you recommend it?? Are there any alternatives you could recommend that would work for me??? Thanks

I've used SQLite before and it's not that big a deal. Basically it's using mySQL on the command line except with slightly less functionality. As far as I know you'd have to install it on the user's system just like you would with mySQL. Also, I could never really get it to work. Whenever I tried it wouldn't connect and it'd just time out.
