Question: Is there a tool that automates BDE to FIBPlus conversion? Are there any best practices to keep in mind?
Answer: The migration from BDE to FIBPlus cannot be automated completely, as the ideology of both products differs too much. In general we recommend:
- If you use TDatabase, replace it by TpFIBDatabase,
- Replace TQuery and TUpdateObject by TpFIBDataset
- Replace Ttable by TpFIBDataset
- As BDE has no components for transaction control, you should think thoroughly how many TpFIBTransaction you will need and how to use them.
"FIBPlus is a great choice if you're going to work with InterBase and/or Firebird. The components let you easily use all the features of both databases in your applications...FIBPlus will make your InterBase and Firebird development easier than ever before...".
