There doesn't appear to be ant SQL Links .dll files shipped with BDS2006. This can't be right can it? So, No Merge Modules even though they are mentioned in the documentation. No BDE merge module despite this being the suggested method of deployment in the documentation. No SQL Links .dlls despite them being mentioned in the documentation. The Web App Debugger Executable created by the IDE causes an AV when it is executed. Is it me or is BDS 2006 a really poor quality product? I can't believe that it is only me finding these things. It is actually preventing me from doing my job now. :( Andy Back to top Jeff Overcash (TeamB) Guest Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 1:03 am    Post subject: Re: SQL Links .dll FIles Jeff Overcash (TeamB) wrote: Quote: Andy Walker wrote: This is getting absurd now.

Borland announced 8 years ago that the BDE was being put into maintenance mode and nearly 4 years ago that the SQL Links drivers would no longer ship.

Borland has been up front for a very long time as to the future of the BDE. Note that the previous BCB release WAS just over 4 years ago! And many customers are upgrading from version 5, released 2 years before that. This may be ancient history for the Delphi community, but a little pointer for the BCB customers who have missed out on the last 4 years evolution might be useful. (As we don't use relational databases ourselves, I was not aware of the issues either.) -- AlisdairM(TeamB) Back to top Darko Miletic Guest Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 3:03 am    Post subject: Re: SQL Links .dll FIles Andy Walker wrote: Quote: This is getting absurd now.

So you will have to stick with older version of BCB. In the mean time you should plan migration of your legacy app to BDS 2006 if you wan't to use new product. I know this does not help you but it is the only thing you can do.

Borland has been up front for a very long time as to the future of the BDE. Fair enough but they might have mentioned it to remind me. The last BCB product I purchased WAS OVER 5 years ago and my current project has been ongoing for 7 years. I wouldn't call it a legacy app but it is now based on an obsolete technology! So, anybody fancy helping me to convert my BDE app to dbExpress? :) Has anybody done this recently? What sorts of thing do I need to look out for? My main issue it that I use TUpdateSQL components and there isn't an alternative in dbExpress. :( Thanks for the info Jeff.

When you are not straight updating a table though you can add an event in the Providers BeforeApplyUpdates and do you own more complex updating. Quote: Thanks for the info Jeff.
