Hi.

You could look at Firebird (http://firebird.sourceforge.net/) or Interbase 6 OpenSource. I am not sure where the Interbase OpenSource version is anymore, but I think Firebird is built on the same code.

I have used PureBasic to connect to Interbase using ODBC.

MySQL works on Windows too. I deeply recommend this database.

Is there a file based database (like access) that can be used by PureBasic without having to create an ODBC entry to it? Any ideas?

The only I know of (source code available) is the euphoria database system.
The source code is in euphoria (easy to understand) and you can generate/change your own database files.
So if you want to use it, you have to translate it to PureBasic... sorry.

If you are interested look at:

http://www.rapideuphoria.com

and download the newest free version of euphoria (database.e is in there).
User contributed tools to manage *.eds files are in 'the archive'.


Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.

Does that mean that there is there no way of connecting to say an MS Access database file without creating an ODBC connection on the machine?

Can you not just pass the connection string on the openDatabase command to access it.

I will check out this euphoria db when I get home, thanks for the rapid reply.

yes, that is correct.
MS set that up that way so that most database types can be connected to using the same method. Cool in some ways, frustrating in other...
