Friends @ m.d.basics

Can't delay anymore the decision deadline: I need to acquire an xtra (I
already tried some lingo to make it work but the amount of date requires
another approach) for a Database project and the options haver narrowed to:

1. Arca Database Xtra
http://xtras.tabuleiro.com/products/arca/index.tdb

2. INM VizionDB - Desktop
http://www.inm.com/products/viziondb/desktop/default.htm

I have tried them both and there are some big differences. But it'll be
of great help to have some input from users. All this reviews that I get
seem a bit biased. So, since the difference between those two also means
an investment and a huge difference in price anything you can share
would be appreciated.

Hope to read soon from the forum.

As a matter of interest, why did you rule out Valentina?

The criteria you used to narrow down your choices will probably have
some bearing on any recommendations other readers might provide, so you
might consider posting some of your requirements.

Good question. I like the fact of having "XML dump/load". I did look it
over but was more encouraged to get an Xtra that uses Firebird or SQL
Lite instead of proprietary... It's easier to find help and programmers.
But, thanks for the comment: I gave a deeper look on Valentina...

Still in the dark, though.

So what about Valentin Schmidt's free(!) SQLite xtra?
