My sales rep tells me the upgrade is essentially the same as buying BCB6 Pro, but Borlands product review indicates that the non-upgrade can hand all the database routines Sql, Paradox, InterBase etc... The Upgrade version says nothing to that effect. Question: Does the upgrade differ? Is it lacking the database objects? Thanks.

Matthew, The regular BCB6 Pro and the upgrade BCB6 Pro have the same features and support the same technologies. -- YH -- -- Please confine your posts to the newsgroups and DO NOT reply to this e-mail account unless asked.

Thank you for the quick response. Are you familiar with the InterBase tools? I have never used them. I am upgrading because I need to write a server app that will take multiple client requests from some kind of database table (Paradox for instance). Does BCB6 have the TObject types to pull this off? Thanks. Back to top Yu-Chen Hsueh Guest Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2004 7:14 pm    Post subject: Re: Upgrading from BCB4 to BCB6 - Thanks, one more thing... Matthew, Is your last name Grayson? I work in C++ support and just saw your PreSales case. I'll go ahead and correspond with you here. Sure, you can have a database server that serves multiple clients. I'm not sure if you have already gone ahead purchased the BCB6 upgrade. If you haven't then give the Trial edition of BCB6 a try first to make sure it'll suit your needs. It's available here and would provide some valuable firsthand experience: http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html Since the Trial has the same features found in the Enterprise edition, it may be helpful to also view the Feature Matrix to see what features come with what product SKUs: http://www.borland.com/cbuilder/pdf/cb6_feamatrix.pdf -- YH -- -- Please confine your posts to the newsgroups and DO NOT reply to this e-mail account unless asked.

Is this the case across board with all of the DB tools in BCB6? Thanks. Back to top Yu-Chen Hsueh Guest Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2004 7:44 pm    Post subject: Re: Upgrading from BCB4 to BCB6 - Licensing? Matthew, I'm honestly not sure how InterBase licensing goes... I recommend submitting an InterBase PreSales case on that. The InterBase guys will be able to fill you in. InterBase is the only RDBMS offered by Borland. The actual VCL controls for working with databases don't need to be licensed. They will work out of the box. -- YH -- -- Please confine your posts to the newsgroups and DO NOT reply to this e-mail account unless asked. Any unsolicted e-mail will be ignored.

I'm waiting for a quote on the product at this time. I downloaded the trial, but the activation key (reg388.txt) that was emailed to me is for BuilderX not Builder6. I think this happened because I downloaded both for comparison. I expected to get keys for both trials. I will try the Xkey with BCB6 and see if it works. I will figure it out and take your advice before I purchase. Thanks again Matthew.

If you've requested a BCB6 key already, then give it a few minutes to show up. It might just be lagging a bit. I just tried registering for a key myself, and the function is working right now, so it should be on its way. I might have just gotten mine faster because I'm on the internal network. -- YH -- -- Please confine your posts to the newsgroups and DO NOT reply to this e-mail account unless asked.
