Re: PEAR::DB/MDB, Flat File Database, and ODBC database schema

Lukas, Mika, Thanks for the Info. I am trying to write an application which would fall back on Flat-files in hosting environments where no SQL database is available. But even SQLite would have to be installed, and would therefore not work in these environments, is that correct? There are a couple of XML-flat file databases around, but none of them of course can be used by PEAR::DB, and therefore require a separate API....
