Hi Leigh, any number I put out there would simply be a guess - we come across people regularly who use earlier versions of Delphi who simply won't upgrade. Richard Vowles, Technical Advisor Developers Inc Ltd web. http://www.developers-inc.co.nz ph. +64-9-3600231, mob. +64-275-467747, fax.

Developers not upgrading... I suppose that is one of the core Codegear problems.I have been working at a firm with production software in Delphi 5 Enterprise - there has been no real need to upgrade, as it does most of what they need. The main reluctance about upgrading are simply the

I think this is in general a sql server question. sql 2000 has a sql enterprise manager/ studio which I can analyze sql query plan which you may check which index you are using. The step what I do is debug a normal sql query in sql query analyzer, once I am happy, then I will put the code in

I've noticed this one also and it's generally quite annoying because it requires a couple of extra mouse clicks once you know it's happening. The other one that bothers me a little is the TTable and TQuery glyphs are missing on the components quite frequently - I guess it makes it obvious

Thankfully D2007 does not have these issues - and it is much faster. Have you installed Andreas Hauslanden DelphiSpeedup Package? Well worth it. http://andy.jgknet.de/dspeedup The only issues experienced on D2006 IDE exit were ones from 3rd party components and our own - which are now fixed.

Yeah, D2006 had some serious leaks, and most of those are also fixed in D2007 with the latest patches. A couple of small ones still remain, I suspect, but not enough to worry about anymore. You can of course download the D2007 trial and install it free for 30 days! It's a full working version, so

Hi Phil, I have found the Delphi 2007 IDE (win32 only) to be an improvement over D2006 for reliability, however still some glitches. It seems however if you can hold out for Tiburon released later this year you will get your Unicode support as well. Personally I'll be looking for a sign that

To be honest, I had been hoping for something more helpful. Because it's not immediately obvious to me how to go about tracking down a memory leak in any one of a few dozen components on IDE shutdown without just eyeballing the code, which I would think would take a prohibitive amount of time,
