Elevate Software has been providing royalty-free, small-footprint, embedded database solutions for developers since 1998. Our primary focus is on database applications that require a high volume of distribution, must install easily, and once installed, remain immune to configuration issues. Our products offer both navigational and SQL access methods, and operate in single-user, multi-user peer-to-peer, and multi-user client-server environments. Our first-generation product, DBISAM, is a good fit for Delphi and C++Builder application developers wanting a fast and highly-customizable database engine that compiles directly into their applications, especially when replacing the BDE (Borland Database Engine) in existing applications. Our newest product, ElevateDB, is geared toward all database application developers, and is available for almost all development environments.

Deploying an ElevateDB application is a fairly simple process, but can seem like a daunting task for those that haven't spent a lot of time with the product. Complicating the deployment process further is the fact that ElevateDB is extremely flexible and allows for several different methods of deployment. This article will break down the deployment process for ElevateDB client applications and the ElevateDB Server into simple, easy-to-use steps.

Before going any further, you should at least become familiar with the general architecture of ElevateDB, especially how it uses the configuration path to store the configuration file. You can find out more information on the architecture here in the manual:
