ADO? or ODBC? what say you? I am currently upgrading from d5 to d7 and would like to replace ODBC datasources with ADO... but finding that things are not working out so well... came across some mention of dbExpress and the dbexpca400 provider/driver for connection to the as400 via client access and wondering what the differences are and which path I should pursuit... any ideas? thanx b Back to top Fernando Guest Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2003 8:16 pm    Post subject: Re: d7+as400 : dbExpress? ADO? or ODBC? what say you? I have no problems using ADO. I migrated some applications from D5 with ODBC to D6 with ADO and now D7. Just be cautious and don't use TADOTables, just TADOQueries.

ADO? or ODBC? what say you? Betsy, We're pretty much in the same situation. Peoples at Borland suggest that we should move away from their BDE and they seem to suggest dbExpress as a replacement (see [url]http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,28688,00.html)[/url]. I tried this driver which I downloaded from http://www.sawatzki.de. We have not tested it thoroughly but it seemed to work OK in combination with a TSQLConnection, a TSQLQuery, a TDataSetProvider and a TClientDataSet. On the other hand, IBM is promoting the use of ADO.NET, which we did not test so far. More on this at http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/0309mcgee/0309mcgee.html. Tell me which path you're going to follow.

ADO? or ODBC? what say you? thank you Michel & Fernando... Been getting the hang of using the ADO components... really nice... the one thing that I really like about it that I don't think that you will get out of dbExpress (could be wrong)... no ODBC datasource to set up, no BDE or other such files and components to setup and deliver... no extras... deliver exe and it worked... a snap... I so feared what I'd have to go through to deliver... I was so pleasantly suprised.
