Re: [DUG] BDS2006 or Rad 2007 the web
Why are you talking about rewriting the whole app? If there is no further need then to expose Order Status to the customer, just expose that information from the existing database towards the web. In that case you will have a very well contained problem area an you can focus on learning to write a web app (intraweb is a good way to go) without having to cope with all kinds of other new issues you would have rewriting the whole app. Cheers, Arjan Noordhoek. 2009/9/1 Richard Vowles rich...@developers-inc.co.nz Yes - this is indeed the case, and it is specifically the license for MySQL - you sell a product with MySQL in it, you have to pay for it. Oracle won't get you get away without it :-) 2009/9/1 Sean Cross sean.cr...@catalystrisk.co.nz Because you need to release your source code under the gpl, or buy a commercial license.

Re: [DUG] BDS2006 or Rad 2007 the web
As per my personal email, and for the benefit of others : Citrix basically lets each user see what appears to be their own computer. There may be 15 people on a citrix server at any time, but each one is in a separate session. As far as your application is concerned, it is being run by a single user. As such, all you need to do is pull out the windows user name, and then filter on that.

Am I right in thinking that DBX is dbExpress? I've found an article by Bill Todd on Migrating Borland Database Engine applications to dbExpress. Will work through it tomorrow as it's after 10:30pm my time. Thanks again Alister for helping me. I sure do appreciate it.

Sean From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of Charlie Sent: Tuesday, 1 September 2009 10:51 a.m. To: delphi@delphi.org.nz Subject: [DUG] BDS2006 or Rad 2007 the web I have both the BDS2006 RAD 2007 versions of Delphi. I'm currently using the BDS2006 version as I could never get the help feature to work with RAD 2007 for my windows order entry application. This application uses dBase files. I'm also using the following 3rd party components: Infopower 2007, AceReporter, JEDI, SMImport. The customer is a small manufacturing company which has a WinXP Pro peer-to-peer network, the workstations are mostly WinXP with perhaps 1 or 2 Vista machines. I need suggestions/recommendations with the following: 1)I essentially have no database experience except for dBase, Paradox and Access. If I eventually want to have this application so that customers could enter orders on the web what do you recommend I consider for a database Not those! Sql Server Express (free for the db size you are likely to need, use the dbGo components that come with Delphi) or Firebird. I use SQL server for nearly everything. 2)My customer would like for his customers to be able to access the application to determine the status of their orders. What have you found that enables concurrent users to do this? Not quite sure what you mean here. Web apps are concurrent by nature. Desktop apps on different computers can both access the db at the same time providing you have a suitable database. 3)Has anyone been able to take a Win32 application and make in work as a web application? Where do I start? What version of Delphi do I use? What database? Was the conversion process very time consuming and costly? It depends on how well you wrote the original app :). If all the data access is done on datamodules, then it is much easier than if the data access components are on forms. Either way, you are starting a new application and trying to reuse as much as possible rather than converting the original app. 4)I have tried viewing and studying the demos/examples that came with my versions of Delphi to learn how to create a web application. I guess I'm dense but I'm having a difficult time with these. A few months ago I had the opportunity to work some with Visual Studio. I found tons of tutorial videos and examples that help tremendously with the learning curve. I haven't found that with the Delphi examples that I have. Does anyone have any recommendations? Look at Intraweb aka VCL for the web. It is the easiest for what you want to do. You will still need to recreate the ui, but you may be able to keep the data modules. Use the latest version of Delphi that you can. 5)All I am is a guy that always wanted to be a programmer but never really had the opportunity to program day in and day out. So I'm always in these huge learning curves. I sincerely appreciate any suggestions you can give me.

Re: [DUG] BDS2006 or Rad 2007 the web
Thanks Sean. I guess I need to clarify at least one of my questions. 1)I essentially have no database experience except for dBase, Paradox and Access. If I eventually want to have this application so that customers could enter orders on the web what do you recommend I consider for a database Not those! Sql Server Express (free for the db size you are likely to need, use the dbGo components that come with Delphi) or Firebird. I use SQL server for nearly everything. I have worked some with Sql Server 2005 - I'm pretty sure it is the free version. Will look at that option again. What are your feelings about MySql? 2)My customer would like for his customers to be able to access the application to determine the status of their orders. What have you found that enables concurrent users to do this? Not quite sure what you mean here. Web apps are concurrent by nature. Desktop apps on different computers can both access the db at the same time providing you have a suitable database. Here I mean having customers access the Win32 application by logging into the company's server upon which (some how) a query would be run to retrieve and display open orders for that customer that logged in. By concurrent I mean that multiple external customers would be able to access a view of their open orders at the same time. 3)Has anyone been able to take a Win32 application and make in work as a web application? Where do I start? What version of Delphi do I use? What database? Was the conversion process very time consuming and costly? It depends on how well you wrote the original app J. If all the data access is done on datamodules, then it is much easier than if the data access components are on forms. Either way, you are starting a new application and trying to reuse as much as possible rather than converting the original app. Unfortunately datamodules were not used with the original application so the data access components are on the forms. While it wouldn't be a hard thing to change it certainly will be time intensive to move the components to a data module or reassign a new database to all of those components. Then of course if I move to ADO components then that'll be challenging I'm sure. Really don't have any idea how to pursue that conversion; that is to ADO. 4)I have tried viewing and studying the demos/examples that came with my versions of Delphi to learn how to create a web application.
