Of course you probably know that with DBISAM, if you lose power to your pc while it is writing a record, it will corrupt the entire program?

Actually, I don't know of a database product that doesn't suffer from this ill. Careful use of transactions is important. But as low-end databases go, DBISAM is remarkably stable. In fact, we have not seen one incident of database corruption since we changed to it; previously we were dealing with corruption on some customer's system on a daily basis.

Stored procedures are not of interest to us. Referential Integrity is, but it is trivial to implement in code, so that's what we did. DBISAM is not a database of the character of IB; however, we have found it to be totally adequate for 1-100 users, and a vast improvement over using BDE.
