'[OT] Ideas for database required'
2000\06\05@030856 by David Huisman

I am looking for a suitable method for storing and navigating through a tree
type data structure in a PIC micro based application.

The data is layered as shown below, each blcok and sub blosks are titles
only (like folders) and the actual data blocks are the very lowest branch in
each case.

Main Section
   Sub Category
       Sub Sub Category
           Blocks of data

I have several ways to store and access the data in the EEROM using pointers
and a lookup list of sub block titles but I am having trouble figuring out
how to sort the large data base on the PC. I need to be able to add and
modify sub block titles and then place data in appropriate areas.
I am using Delphi version 4.0.

Any help gratefully received

Regards
David Huisman

Just a thought....

Place the items in a StringList and set the sorted property to True.
That will keep them sorted alphabetically.

There are database components in D4, but I haven't had the need to use
them yet.

Maybe even use a tree view component.

There would be lots of ways to sort and store and view the data
depending on your needs.
