Hi to all, I'm evaluating the choice of migrating a 1.5 Firebird database either to 2.1 or to 2.5. I've readed the release notes of both versions but I can't find no elements that help to decide which one could be best choice.
I guess this depends on the database structure and the type of data stored on it, but also the client application tha uses de database. In this case, my database is a very old one that was originally used with Interbase 6.0 and the client application developped with Delphi 6.0 using Borland Database Engine (I know that BDE components must have been replaced years ago, but this is the way the application is) Now days the application is compiled with Delphi 2007 and partially migrated to dbExpress. I've tested the client application with both versions (2.1 and 2.5) and it seems to work fine. My questions are: - Is there any good reason for not migrating to 2.5 and migrate to 2.1? - Should I jump directly to 2.5, keeping in mind that SQL and data contents migrating issues could be almost the same in both versions? - Has somebody any application running Delphi BDE components using Firebird 2.5? Thank you in advance for your help. Hernando.
