Delphi 2007 was purchased thinking that dbexpress 4 would come with source code. It has most of the code, and thanks for that, but the code given only really allows me to develop a dbxdirect driver (inherit from DBXCommon types). To develop a dbxdynalink driver as you recommend in your documentation, I require DBXExports or DBXDynalinkExport documentation or at least the interface my DLL will be required to implement (and maybe some small documentation for each method). Is such code/documentation available for DBX driver writers? Thanks Dave Back to top Steve Shaughnessy Guest Posted: Sat May 05, 2007 5:02 am    Post subject: Re: DBXExports/DBXDynalinkExport Documentation/Source availa There is source code documentation for the DbxCommon unit. The DbxDynalink unit provides a mapping from DbxCommon to DbxDynalinkExport flat exports. So there is an indirect way to intuit what needs to be done. However I agree that the flat export interface should be documented. I can work on creating source code documentation for the flat exports. Are you implmenting your driver in Delphi or c/c++? What database are you writting the driver for? Thanks, -Steve <dpershouse (AT) gmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:1178286181.397900.133250 (AT) p77g2000hsh (DOT) googlegroups.com...

Thanks Dave- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Steve, Thanks for you reply, yeah, i thought about reversing it from the dynalink implementation, but thought i'd ask for the interface and documentation to save me playing guessing games and reconstructing something that you surely have on site somewhere . I am interested in developing either a Firebird or Postgresql driver (probably firebird unless someone beats me to it) and maybe an oledb driver, although your current ADO implementation is leaps and bounds above the one in D7. Good work on that. I'll be writing it in the best language available. Delphi or is it "delphi object pascal" since delphi now means more than just a syntax. Thanks David.
