Light-weight database engine for Delphi 1?

Question

I'm looking for a light-weight database engine for Delphi 1 (don't ask, it's a long story). Delphi 1 is 16-bit. The engine should compile into the EXE. SQL would be nice, but not mandatory. Any info would be great. Thanks, Carl

Answer 1

A 16-bit version of Microsoft Jet should be easy to integrate even with older versions of BDE (ODBC driver).

Otherwise you can use .db files (dBase - xBase), BDE should be able to handle them directly.
