WANTED: Delphi guy for tiny app

[crono]

Hi Coders

I have a question which doesn't really fit to the Coding Snack section, so I post it here.
Has anyone of you expirience with "Absolute Database" from ComponentAce (Delphi / C++)? The Download for personal use is free, but it does not work with Delphi Personal Edition (which is the only one I have). I need a simple commandline App, which allows me to connect to a DB, fire some queries and getting back the resultset. Background info: I use a PIM which does not offer automatic exports and syncing. But I know that the Data is stored in an AbsolutDB Database. ODBC is not an option . I figure something like this

[Select]

export -dbfile="../../pim.db" -queryfile="../export.sql" -outfile="../export.xml"

The Outfile could be as simple as

[Select]

<resultset>
    <row>
        <column_name1>value</column_name1>
        <column_name2>value</column_name3>
        <column_name3>value</column_name3>
    </row>
</resultset>

So the question is: Did anyone know a tool which provides me this? Or is someone in the right mood coding the little thing?

I can code it with C++ Builder.
If you like, I will code and try to finish soon.
And i have a question: Does anyone know which embeded database engine is best in performance and easy to use with Delphi/C++ Builder?.

Hi Crono,
I will make it for you, hopefully early next week.
But I think Absolute Database has password protected feature, so you must have the password to open if the database file is password protected.

So cool tchikien - thank you very much The DB I want to connect is not password protected

Hi Crono,
Here is the program, see the test.bat file for example of how to use it.
