I would strongly discourage using Codebase 6. Bad exception handling. Bad oop wrapper (for c++ around c functions), it is obvious when you see the classes that they did not have a good grasp on oop when they designed them (they have a version number for Codebase 4 in the classnames: code4, data4, relate4, etc.). Very limited query capability, essentially you can seek (no SQL, no locate). If you require fast filtering, you will need to have many indexes with appropriate for clases embedded, a tag containing the filter expression can not be used. Although Codebase supports dbase3, dbase4, clipper, and foxpro (2.6 and older), you must link in the appropriate libraries for the table type. These libraries are mutually exclusive, therefore your app can not access more than one table/index type.

If you are willing to put up with the limitations, they do have client/server.
