TurboDB is a full-featured multi-user database engine and a set of data access components for accessing TurboDB database tables in your Delphi/Kylix/C++ Builder or .NET application.

TurboDB for VCL/CLX
TurboDB Engine and TurboDB Components are 100% Delphi code. TurboDB Components are very close in use to the BDE data access components included in Delphi Professional and Delphi Enterprise.

Compared to these BDE components TurboDB offers the following advantages:
·Available for Windows and for Linux, 100% compatible between platforms  
·Smaller executables  
·No special installation and/or configuration needed  
·Tables can be encrypted  
·Full-text indexing for very fast keyword search  

Compared to the database client components for InterBase and MySQL included in Kylix, TurboDB
·is much easier to install and configure  
·offers table creation and altering within the IDE  
·includes a table component to access database data without SQL statements  
·is highly compatible to BDE, so you can migrate very quickly  
·offers much more functionality via methods and properties  

Requirements
You need one of the following Borland development tools to work with TurboDB 4: Delphi 4 Standard and above, Delphi 5 Professional and above, Delphi 6 Professional and above, Delphi 7 Professional and above, Kylix 1 Desktop Developer and above, Kylix 2 Desktop Developer and above, Kylix 3 Professional and above, C++ Builder 4 Standard and above, C++ Builder 5 Professional and above, C++ Builder 6 Professional and above.
TurboDB (like any other database access technology) will not work with any Personal or Open Edition of Delphi/Kylix/C++ Builder because of missing base technology by Borland.

TurboDB.NET
TurboDB.NET contains the TurboDB database engine and a native ADO.NET data provider. The data provider is very small (about 100 kB) and supports all the necessary design-time functions like data adapter configuration, generation of typed data sets, data set preview etc. TurboDB.NET runs from CD and from any .NET enabled Web account.

Editions
TurboDB is available in different versions and editions. If you have further questions please read the FAQ
or consult the TurboDB team at dataWeb. TurboDB is based on the TurboDB database engine that is included in the TurboDB package.
