What is the difference between EasyTable and Accuracer?
First of all, Accuracer is the multi-user database (file / server and client / server). Accuracer supports transactions, while EasyTable does not. Accuracer can be used under Linux (Kylix 3 Delphi version is available). Also Accuracer is faster on large databases (100'000 records and more) and has the faster indexes system. So we recommend EasyTable for small local databases and the Accuracer for large single-user databases or for multi-user environment. To learn details please, read our special EasyTable and Accuracer comparison materials.
Is Accuracer a successor to Easytable and will support for Easytable be discontinued in favor of Accuracer eventually?
We have no plans to discontinue sales and support of EasyTable. We will sell both the products, they are for the different purposes.
At this time I am very happy with Easytable as it is, however, I am a bit confused whether I should migrate to Accuracer or not.
You have no needs to buy another product if EasyTable is suitable for your tasks. We will support EasyTable in the same manner like we did it before.
Will your products work under D3?
No, we do not plan to support compilers older than 4 series.
Do you plan to develop Kylix versions of your products?
No. Probably in the future when there will be more potential customers.
Can I use your products under Delphi 5 Standard Edition?
EasyTable cannot be used there, as this edition of Delphi does not support any database components. The same problem with Personal editions and trial versions. As for other products, please, try it on another edition of Delphi (C++ Builder) if they does not work with your compiler. Standard, Personal editions and trial versions contains various limitations, so if our product does not run there, you can try it under Professional, Enterprise or Architect editions.
When I run my program under Delphi, it shows this error message and asks for the path to source code. Why?
You have installed a compiled package (*.bpl) in the IDE and you have no path to source code of this package. If an exception is raised while running the project under IDE, it will show a dialog that asks for the path to source code (integrated debugger needs it to point the line with this exception in the source code). You can simply ignore this dialog and continue running the project. After that you will see the exception message. If you do not know why this exception occurs, contact author of the package.
What are the records number or size limits for EasyTable?
Maximum signed 32-bit integer value: 2,147,483,647
I followed the example in Help, but I couldn't get a table sorted by the Client Name, for example. Maybe, I'm missing something in the Secondary Index field at the Database Manager?
If you need to sort your table by any of its fields, you should create secondary index with these fields and then set IndexName property of the table to the name of the created index. You can create secondary index visually in EasyTable Manager, or you can do it in your program using AddIndex method or CREATE INDEX SQL command.
Is the EasyTable expected to support multi-user mode?
No, EasyTable is a single-user database. You can use another our product, Accuracer - it supports multi-user access (both file-server and client/server).
I use your EasyTable. How can I increase my application's performance?
You can read more about it in Developer's Guide, Tuning and Optimization chapter.
Do ranges using speed up the EasyTable work?
EasyTable always uses indexes for searching whether it is possible. Applying Range methods will not increase EasyTable speed.
