Hi,
Do any of you have experience with Columbus, sqlDESKTOP or Optimal
Desktop?
HSQL Database Engine (HSQLDB) found.
=========================
Columbus
http://www.oasys-software.com/product/dm/columbus/
=========================
Personal Edition is registerware (key). "Intended for private use,
where access to network resources and other professional features are
not required." Pro "supports the latest file formats [and] operates
in a network environment".
How current is are the Stellent and ???? engines? What version of
Quick View Plus (Stellent) is equivalent?
Has anyone tried combining the Stellent engine in Columbus with
PowerDesk (free)?
Personal individual user? Pro networked user? Multiple personal
users on a network (e.g., home network)?
What are the disadvantages, problems, and limitations?
How does it compare to other products you have used or evaluated?
Better alternatives?
=========================
sqlDESKTOP
http://www.sqldesktop.com
=========================
Registerware (key). Network server edition is $50 - $100.
Single user? Network server? Multiple single users on a network?
Are you using the default HSQL Database Engine (HSQLDB) or another DB?
In the personal edition are the files actually stored within dbms
files or just pointers/shortcuts?
What hardware is required for this to be practical?
What are the disadvantages, problems, and limitations?
How does it compare to other products you have used?
Better alternatives?
----------
BTW, someone might be interested in HSQLDB in its own right. I don't
think it has ever been mentioned on ACF.
HSQLDB "is a completely functional object-relational [DBMS] that is
completely free free...." This small (< 160k) Java based product is
used by production open source and commercial products.

=========================
Optimal Desktop
http://www.optimalaccess.com/en/product_overview.htm
=========================
Hmmm, looks like they are no longer providing a free single user
license (with key). Is anyone still using it for free?
I had initial and susequent problems with their license key. I
stopped using it but was initially impressed although it seemed a bit
"expansive".
I am still curious how it compares with the above.
TIA,
BillR
