G'Day All,
I am looking for some advice. Currently we have a real time system that is
running off Paradox as the back end. It appears however that the DBMS is
getting close to its use by date so a "real" DBMS is being considered (Why
now only was my question too). At present the contenders are:
- MS-SQL7
- Interbase 5.x
- MySQL
My only previous experience is with M$ so I need to broaden my perspective
here. IB & MySQL have the benefit of having Linux cousins so they have an
advantage there. IB also has IBX. Can someone tell me about there
experiences with IBX?? In not using the BDE what does it use? Can IB also be
accessed via ADO? Is ADO the new route to go down in terms of DB access??
Any pointers, suggestions, FAQs, ReadMe etc. would be greatly
appreciated.......
