As we're getting quite a few questions about using Delphi wit SAP DB (and we don't have any experience with this), it would be swell if someone could write a few paragraphs about the options available. I've created a page in the Wiki for this:

Thanks.

1. Delphi 7 is Unicode(could someone check it ), Delphi 2-6 are not Unicode- therefore do not use Unicode DB via BDE, use it only for Latin1 codepage languages (see [EMAIL PROTECTED] posts).

ADO and DB-express works on my opinion the same way (but i havent tetsted it yet)

You can find type TWideStringField in documentation that supports UNICODE (but i havent tetsted it yet) - maybe it is the best solution for string fields

2. The easiest way to connect to SapDB is :
*create ODBC entry
*configure BDE entry
*write programs :-)
There are differences between SAP DB and other databases when creating tables (see column types) - it is closest to SYBASE (except Numeric <-Float types)

Thats all for now.
