Perhaps Valentina will do the job?

Hi,
Before I start I would like to make clear exactly what I am _not_
looking
for. I know that a solution to my problem was EOF but this is no
longer an
option. Rather than to spend a long time bemoaning it's apparent death
I am
more interested in the future and any suggestions people have to solve
my
problem with _available_ tools. I fully intend to email Apple about
their
lack of support of EOF and how it would have allowed me to solve this
problem quickly and easily.
Now that is out of the way, here goes....
I am a shareware author that is trying to build an application not
entirely
unlike iTunes or iPhoto except for a completely different problem
domain. As
part of the design of this application I have realised that what I
need to
do is to store all of my data in a database. Unfortunately, as a
shareware
author I can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a solution or
pay per
usage royalties (as the accounting for this would be too complex).
Here are
a brief list of requirements, most important first:
- No runtime license requirements
- Ability to hold globs of data each of which is around 100-200K +
metadata
- Ability to handle around 10,000 rows of data and be quick to sort
- Transparent to the user, no separate applications (although
background OK)
- Not too expensive (did I mention it is for a piece of shareware ?)
Other things that would be great but not essential:
- Full text search (like iTunes !)
- Ability to open multiple DBs (user, computer, network) and show a
unified
view
Thanks for any advice you might have,
Nick
