Hi,
I may be getting to do some contract work in Delphi and would need to use a
newer version (prefereby Version 7).
I'm somewhat confused by the features of Delphi 7 versions. I want to
produce a multi media Delphi application that connects to various databases
using probably ODBC. To do this I'd need to use the BDE, TTable, TQuery etc
and to be able to distribute the BDE.
Can I do this in Delphi Professional?
Regards,
Ian

Yes, you can do that with Pro if you have reliable ODBC drivers
for your "various databases." Be aware that SQL Links has been
deprecated.

D7 Pro would also include "dbGo", Borland's wrappers for ADO. It would
probably be safer to develop a new application that way, and would reduce the
deployment package as well. ADO maps to the BDE fairly well.

Ian,
Delphi Professional is a good tool to do what you're talking about.
Oh, btw- you don't need the BDE to use ODBC, you can use the OLEDB
ODBC provider via the ADO components. It's best to avoid the BDE at
all costs. If you need to use a lot of ODBC drivers for different
sources, there are some 3rd party ODBC component packages that might
make life a lot easier.
Best regards,
Dave Schudel
