Do you have access to the full power of ADO in the components that will be
shipping with Delphi 5?
And on the subject of ADO upgrades what sort of extra $ will we be required
to pay for this since in their wisdom professional people do not need ADO
components.
I hope not a lot, as their are free implementations of ADO components for
Delphi out there already.

It TOTALLY avoids the BDE, as does the InterbaseExpress components - no
BDE's need apply. Also, 'cos MS are only really supporting ADO/OLEDB for
MSSQL7, ADO is a very good option if you are looking to use MSSQL7.
I dont know if it will work with the ADOMD stuff - "plato" or the
decision support system/cubeing stuff they have in SS7 - as I dont have
a SS7 machine available anymore. :) But it should, as long as you handle
the odd format of data it brings back.
