I develop with iAnywhere's ASA 9.02 and 10.0 using dbExpress. I am interested in developing mobile applications using .NET framework. Does D8 qualify for an upgrade to BDS 2007? The feature matrix mentions an "updated" dbexpress driver for ASA 9 for enterprise and architect versions only (not professional). Even though I don't use features that appear in the enterprise edition, will I have to upgrade to the enterprise version to get ASA 9 support through dbexpress?

Sorry to be confusing; however, that's why I need direction. I am using D7.1 for Win32 (that came with D for development with SQL Anywhere 9.0 using dbExpress (dbexpasa.dll). The Feature Matrix refers to "Updated dbexpress connectivity for SQL anywhere 9" available in Enterprise and Architect but not Professional. Am I to assume that without the Enterprise version, I can't connect to SQL anywhere 9? What are the implications of that statement? I do understand that BDS 2006 comes with D/win32, D/.net, C++ and C# and that they are different development environments.

I do understand that BDS 2006 comes with D/win32, D/.net, C++ and C# and that they are different development environments. My understanding is that Borland's High Performance Native Database Drivers for dbExpress are licensed across machine level boundaries only for Enterprise level users. I haven't received my Delphi 2007 Enterprise yet, so I haven't read the license agreement for CodeGear yet, but I'd guess it might be the same way. It used to be that you could use some dbExpress or BDP drivers as long as your application and the database server were on the same machine at the Pro level, but not if they were on different machines. You could possibly still use Delphi 2007 Pro in your Win32 environment with a third party SQL Anywhere driver that doesn't have a license restriction like this. -- -Brion There's no such thing as 'one, true way;' - Mercedes Lackey Back to top Nick Hodges (CodeGear) Guest Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 4:41 am    Post subject: Re: Upgrade path to BDS 2007 Bill Skelton wrote: Quote: Thank you for the reply Nick.

Ah, okay. Quote: The Feature Matrix refers to "Updated dbexpress connectivity for SQL anywhere 9" available in Enterprise and Architect but not Professional.

Yes, you'll need the Enterprise version of Delpi 2007 to connect to SQL Anywhere.
