Hi group,
Introduction:
I need access to database-functionality for a project.
The problem is I cannot be sure that a database exists on all places where I
need to run the code.
I can only expect PHP to be installed on all the intranets where the
software runs.
So to mimic some databasefunctionality I first thought to use plain files to
store the data. Or maybe write away my datastructures serialized.
That is a bit cumbersome, but can be done.
Things would be nicer for if I could use real SQL.
My question:
So I wondered if there is some way for me to use real SQL-statements on a
flatfile. If that is possible I would really safe me a lot of trouble.
In that way I can use real SQL and do not expect my customers to have to
install mySQL or Postgres.
I hope I make sense. :-)
TIA,
Erwin Moller
