 |
|
In my application (D7) I'd like to connect to a Sybase database (ASE)
using dbExpress, but there was no Sybase dxExpress driver shipped with
D7. Since D2005 includes a Sybase dbExpress driver and I have D2005 as
well I thought that it might be possible to use that driver in D7.
Does anyone know
- if that is possible? are these dll's compatible? (a quick test looks
promising)
- if that is legal?
Sasan.

Why not just compile your app in D2005?

Because I think that it won't be just recompiling, it may take quite
some effort (~2M lines of code including a lot of 3rd party stuff).
Another thing is that the D2005 IDE instability problems have to be
fixed first before we consider using D2005.

I was able to recompile all of my D6 apps (about 250K lines of code with
lots of 3rd party components) with only very minor changes. I did have to
update some of my 3rd party components (Rave and Raize) to the latest
versions, but those updates work with D6 as well. I'd suggest giving it a
try.
I have not found any serious IDE instabilities (I had one crash of the IDE
so far) and I'm running on a beta Windows 2003 Server 64-bit version! I'd
imagine that a stock Windows release would do at least as well.

You do realize that D2005 includes the new Win32 compiler, right? D2005,
unlike D8, is not just for .NET.

Thanks, that's great input.
We have ported the app from D5 to D7 recently. That went rather smooth
but it was more work than expected beforehand. The biggest issue was
upgrading the 3rd party components. Beside the D7 support there was
often architectural changes (like DevExpress ExpressQuantumGrid). We had
to rewrite large parts of descendant classes and restructure a lot of
packages.

I've found several, even with "Hello world" apps: access violations,
internal errors etc. Hopefully these problems will probably be solved in
the next update.

Yes, I do realize that and I think that's a great feature of D2005.
In the future me might port (parts of) the application to .NET. D2005
could be a great help with that. But for the short term that is no
option.

Yes, the D5->D6 component transition was painful because many of the
component designers changed. D6 and up should be pretty straightforward (I
had no problems recompiling most of my components for D9).

Make sure you follow the steps to remove Together support from the IDE.
That trick seems to correct many of the stability issues.
