Re: [DUG]: Can D5 Pro handle it?

Is it really as simple as Pat suggests, or are there fish-hooks in there that I need to know about?

i think it depends on how your app is organised. it CAN be almost mindless for the

"right" sort of app.

Is Interbase inherently more reliable than Paradox?

emphatic yes

Can I do this with D5 Pro - or do I need to buy some add-ons?

take a look at Interbase Objects components. (IBO not IBX).

IMO they're well thought out. They also share class hierarchy with BDE DB-aware

components. At one time (perhaps still - i haven't looked in a while) IBX

wasn't like this and converting as a lot more trouble because of it.

The licencing on them is also interesting - "Trustware". You pay for

them if you use them to make a profit.

The client already uses MS SQL server for other applications, how much bigger a job is it to convert to that?

others on the list here are more active with MSSQL than I am so i'll defer.

given the price of IB6 and the quality of the IBO components I'd still give IB a look though.
