Quote from the newsletter:

"Developers using Borland Delphi will now be able to create
Web services applications that tap into the power of the eBay
and PayPal platforms. "

I am about half way through implementing my own PayPal solution with Delphi 8.
Am I reinventing the bicycle again? I asked about PayPal SDK not long ago, and
all I heard was crickets. So, what is this mysterious PayPal solution the newsletter
is talking about?

Go to the developer website on ebay. Sign up and download the SDK. It
take a bit to complete the registration. While I've done it, I haven't
had time to install the SDK yet.

I signed up for the PayPal Developer Network.
I can't find a single line of Delphi code on there.

At this stage, I partially implemented IPN in Delphi for .NET.
I just took parts that are important for my current project, and ignored
the rest. It would be much cleaner to use an SDK that implements IPN
in whole instead.

Are you sure the PayPal SDK for Delphi is on the eBay site?
Because there is nothing like that on the PayPal site:
there is an SDK Visual Studio.NET, and PHP toolkit,
but nothing for Delphi.

Can you install the SDK and post a little synopsis on what exactly
is included as far as Delphi and PayPal, when you have a chance.

Thank you very much.

Ok, no problem, I was just double-checking to insure
I am not doing something that has been done already.

Thanks!

No worries. Email me if you're interested in pursuing Delphi examples
for PayPal.

Well I tried to config the sdk last night and it is very MS orientated.
Access/SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 7. I tried Access and it said the
file format was wrong. I don't have access on my machine.

I could break down and install SQL Server 7, but I really don't want
to. Don't have newer versions.

It looks like it's using ADO for connection (I could be wrong) but is
there a way to use Interbase with it?

FWIW, I'm planning to write one or more articles about it.

I'm going to start looking at it in more detail in August. Can let you
know then.

If you don't already have it with Delphi 8, I believe the developer licence
for SQL Server 2000 costs $50. Installing it is no big deal. You just run
through the install program and can pretty much accept the defaults, then
after install it just runs as a service and doesn't bother you.

Cost isn't the issue. The issue is that I run Interbase, Firebird,
Sybase and Oracle, I don't need another database (well obviously I do
if I want to do some things with the ebay SDK).

Too busy at the moment anyway to be too worried about it.

Actually has anyone run it against MSDE, because that's what StarTeam
is using.

Well, MSDE _is_ SQL Server with a few limitations added. You should be able
to run whatever you can run SQL Server against using MSDE instead, so you
should be able to use it for your PayPal SDK. Try it! <g>

i'll see how the motivation is tonight

Do you have an option for SQL Server? Use that one if so . . . MSDE = SQL
Server . . .

If you read the thread you would know the answer.

I wouldn't call them equal. Compatible perhaps. What if the sdk wants
to load a 3gig database after the install. how would MSDE cope with
that (that's a rhetorical question BTW).
