[DUG]: Good deal

If you're in Christchurch (like me), you might want to check out East's Bookshop in High Street. They've got a book called "Delphi 3 Superbible" (Waite Group Press, 1996) for $11.95. I know D3 seems like ages ago now, but it's still 1310 pages of very useful info on the VCL - and a CD-ROM! -

RE: [DUG]: Knob type controls

There is a new one on DSP it came in the last mail from them. http://SunSITE.ICM.edu.pl/delphi/ftp/d10free/tknob.zip (28,162 bytes) TKnob is a control that emulates a rotary knob. A TLabel can be associated with the Knob to show the current position value. The knob's Caption appears as a suffix

[DUG]: Databases....

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:

RE: [DUG]: Databases....

If using IBX you still need to install the interbase client on the client machines. We have been using the FreeIB upon which IBX was based, and it works very well, the best part being no BDE setup required. Have not yet moved to using IBX. We did make some minor changes to the FreeIB source to

RE: [DUG]: Databases....

ORACLE 8 has a reasonable set of administration tools to bring it up with MSSQL and has no problems with limited resources or huge databases - scalability is endless... Almost - have been talking to people (in the US) with very large DB's and it starts coughing at around 100-400 GB

From the Interbase web site. It was only released upto D4, but would take about 20 mins to make D5 compatible - Some stuff in TFields method/function parameters had definitions changed from WORD to Integer. -Original Message- From: Donovan J. Edye [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:

Re: [DUG]: Databases....

I've trialled ORACLE through ADO without incident and I believe there is supposed to be linux support (avialable or coming?) for ORACLE. Its released. Oracle server but not Oracle applications (which you wouldnt want anyway) Does anyone know if the ORACLE8i implementation includes

Re: [DUG]: Knob type controls

RE: [DUG]: Databases....

Hi all, just a side question... Does anyone have any comparisons between Borland's IBX controls and Jason Wharton's IBO controls. Just wondering which way we should jump... and whether any performs better than the other. Regards C Fraser -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
