    Hi, I want to create some kind of catalog, where people can look up stuff. There will be approx. 1,000,000 items. The whole thing is supposed to be shipped on a CD. The Database that stores the information needs to be safe, i.e., only viewable with my application. MS Access is not safe enough. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to develop my own DB. Does anyone know a DB or some code I could use? Help is greatly appreciated! Regards, Dominik Again, the main points: - desktop-based - 1,000,000+ records - safe

      Actually, I've been involved in creating a simple DBMS. X| The hard part is making the index file, and it is usually done by some kind of B-TREE data structure. If I were you, I wouldn't bother to develop my own B-TREE implementation, because there is some free code on the Internet :cool: . If you can't find any, ask me for a sample. I vote pro drink X|

        Have you considered using SQL Server? You can use the MSDE for the desktop and get the benefits of SQL Server. This would also provide an upgrade path. For a 1,000,000 record db I wouldn't even consider Access.

          You need a database that stores the info in an encrypted format. I'm sure you could write one from scratch but there's got to be a database that has some kind of encryption layer built in. Unfortunately I don't know of any offhand but then I'm new to databases myself. Try searching for database + encryption.
