Is there a way to make it (the 2.11 - 2.13 versions) compatible with D2006? I haven't tried it because I don't use FlashFiler, but it should be really simple to create D2005 and D2006 FlashFiler packages. I created the D2005 and D2006 Apro, Orpheus, SysTools, and B-Tree Filer packages that are now available on SourceForge, and there really wasn't much to it. Start by making copies of the D7 runtime and design time packages, and rename them appropriately. The D7 runtime package will have _r70 in its name, and the design time package will have _d70 in its name. For the new runtime packages, change the _r70 to _r90 for D2005 and _r100 for D2006. For the design time packages, change the _d70 to _d90 for D2005 and _d100 for D2006. Then change the Requires clause in the design time packages to refer to the new D2005/D2006 runtime packages instead of the old D7 runtime package. Then check the ffdefine.inc file for any references to ver150. Add appropriate references to ver170 for D2005 and ver180 for D2006. That should be all there is to it. --Rob Roberts Back to top tony caduto Guest Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2005 3:12 am    Post subject: Re: FlashFiler equivalent for D2006?

Plus the Nexus embedded gives me some nice advantages like a smaller deploy size and it seems a LOT faster than the Firebird embedded dll. It's also easier to maintain, as the Firebird fdb file would become huge and I would have to do a backup and restore to bring the size back down.

"seems" is pretty ambigious for someone in my place happy with Firebird. I love[d] FB, but, I think I too will part with it. My reasons are also quite subjective, but lack of documentation is the prime reason. Quote: It was fairly easy to convert, ran into a few problems, but the Nexus newsgroups helped me straighten everything out. Still don't see a significant insentive for switching. My one reason will be the native GUID datatype. Indexable. I am sick and tired of listening to and not understanding the reasons why a 16-byte datatype isn't necessary and all that. I am on 2 minds as yet. It will either be PostgreSQL or NexusDB. The only reason I can't decide on NexusDB is because it only runs on Windows otherwise it would be perfect for me.

Made new files ff2_r100.bpl etc. Added ver180 to the INC file, but I get an error...

"ffdb.pas(2041): E2072 Number of elements (3 differs from declaration (42)" The ffdb.pas line that you mention is the declaration of an array that looks like this: DataTypeMap: array[0..MAXLOGFLDTYPES - 1] of TFieldType = (...); In looking at the D2005 and D2006 VCL source code, I see that MAXLOGFLDTYPES is a constant declared in DBExpress.pas. In D2005 it equals 26, but was changed to 27 in D2006. To allow for this, your ffdefine.inc file should use {$IFDEF VER180} to set up a DCC10OrLater define (in exactly the same way that VER150 is used to set up a DCC7OrLater define). Then you can change ffdb.pas to use the DCC10OrLater define to change the DataTypeMap declaration as needed for D2006. --Rob Roberts Back to top fh Guest Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2006 9:04 pm    Post subject: Re: FlashFiler equivalent for D2006?
