 Posted: Fri Feb 25, 2005 5:31 pm Post subject: Upgrading from Delphi 2.0 |
 |
|
Dear all,
I am trying to upgrade an existing Delphi program written in Delphi 2.0
to the latest version of Delphi and would like to get some suggestion
from here.
Existing program uses two Data Access Components TDatabase and TQuery
to connect to various databases via ODBC and do some data extraction.
So my questions are:
1. What Delphi and version I should go for? (Delphi 2005 or Delphi 8?
Professional or Enterprise?)
2. Do they still support the usage of TDatabase and TQuery via ODBC?
3. Can I create a single executable instead of create a package with
the latest Delphi?
Rgds,
Chip Ling

If those are your two choices, go for Delphi 2005. Delphi 8 only
supports .Net; Delphi 2005 supports both. First convert your program to
use the new Delphi in Win32 mode, and then, if you're interested, move
to its .Net mode. If you use Delphi 8, you'll be making both those
conversions simultaneously.

Look at the feature matrix at Borland's Delphi Web page and look at
which features each provides.

Yes.

Of course.

Rob,
Thanks for the reply. Actually I'm open to any latest version and I can
only find Delphi from Borland Web page recently.
You mentioned that "Delphi 2005 support both", I know that one is .net,
what is the other? I guess it is the Win32, is that correct?
Rgds,
Chip

There is only one latest version: Delphi 2005. Before that was released,
Delphi 8 was the latest version. Both are later versions than Delphi 2.

Yes. Sorry for the confusion.
