I've just got the standard version of Delphi 3 I installed on my computer.
But I'm able to create a database and so tables for my applications. Must I
do it with another database manager or must I purchase the professional
version ?

To create a database, launch the Database Desktop (DBD) program - it's
on the tools menu of Delphi 3 and there's an icon for it in the Delphi
program group. The best way to start is to define an alias - select
Alias Manager from the DBD Tools menu. Click New, type a name and path
for the alias, and click Keep New.

Then, select New Table from the File menu, and when you save the table,
select your alias from the drop-down list.

When you next run Delphi and drop a TTable on a form, you'll be able to
select your alias in the Database property, and then your new table's
name in the TableName property.

  Eh?   So can you or can't you create tables?  (You're header and your
statment are contradictory ("But I'm able to create a database"))  --  Well,
either way, yes, you can create a table with any version of Delphi (you just
need to know what you're doing (look under 'creating tables' in the help
files...))

  Also, yes, you'd be well advised to return the cheapy version, and get the
professional version (you'll soon start to realize that the desktop version
is missing some units (I should say they're not included) and the source
code alone makes the difference in price worth it....

You can create new tables with TTable.CreateTable.

The enclosed database desktop should be able to do the work for local
supported table.
