Delphi & Access

Question

How can I use MS Access as a back-end database for a Delphi program?

Answer 1

Using MS Access from Delphi is straight forward. ADO is supported in Professional and Enterprise/Architect SKUs.

I would recommend saving the hash for your passwords in the database. this way, when the user enters a user name and password, you hash that password and compare it to what's stored in the database. This means you don't have an un-hashed version hanging around, so it's more secure.
