Hi,
sorry for being unclear and thanks for your answers.
Yes, i'd like to use a flat-file database AND access rights.
One way i thought of would be to handle the access rights
in the script that i write. But to let some other module
handle it would also be great. If for example i could embed
some SQL database and tell it to store all its tables in
ONE FILE it would be quite easy to do.
I want to write that application cross-platform, at least
Win32 AND Linux.
Best regards,
Torsten.
