Hi,

Some one can tell which DB components to use to keep compatibility between
Delphi versions. In my case from D7 to D8.
As far as I know, there is no "ado.net" components in D8 compatible with
"TADO" in D7.
As I just modify an application from BDE to ADO ... I'm stuck because I loss
every component if I try to open the same project in D8. I have some
difficulties to understand that we loose these components between D7 and D8.

So I want to use components that I'm sure I can open my app in a new version
of Delphi !!!!

Is DbExpress the answer ? (I saw the components in D7 AND DCool.
I want to use components deliver with Delphi !

I use SQL server 2000.

Regards to all

Pierre

At BorCon Borland demonstrated Delphi 2005 and it has the ADO
components.

Ok ... but I have to wait for the new version (I hope to receive it at
borcon here in Belgium this week ... Smile )

In your opinion, is it the best to continue (or start Wink ) with ADO in D7
or use an other component like dbexpress which is part of D7 AND D8 (and
Delphi 2005 ?) ?

Thanks

Regards

Pierre

Bill,

Does that mean the Delphi 8 I just bought is a turkey? Practically ALL the
database work I do with D7 is ADO.

It depends on which database you want to connect to. dbExpress is
probably the best choice for cross platform compatibility between
Delphi for Win32 and Delphi for .NET.

Hi,

Thanks..
I'll normally connect to MS SQL 2000 DB (and now MS SQL 2005).

So dbExpress is the right choice ?
What's about Delphi 2005 ? (I'll normally intend a preview session but can't
go this afternoon Wink )

Regards

Pierre
