I think (please correct if I' m mistaken) that you NEED an engine (SE, Online, or Universal) to understand SQL, and most of what ODBC does is transmit SQL. C-ISAM is NOT an SQL product, it only allows you to access ISAM files from a C program. I think SE is based on it, but it also includes all the SQL part: table view, data model, SQL interpreter, optimizer, and so on. ------------------------- Frederic G.
