BDE Alternatives Guide Comments:
DBISAM has grown to be one of the most-mentioned BDE alternative products; it is probably the most complete replacement (and then some) of BDE-like functionality for accessing local or file-server based data, keeping in mind that it uses its own file format, not Paradox, dBase, etc.
The client/server version is more comparable to Advantage or FlashFiler, offering a mix of navigations and SQL-based data access in a client/server system.
I (Kyle) use DBISAM myself for the local data store in a "briefcase" style application.
