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.
I've looked at FIBPlus and feel that it is one of the fastest (if not the fastest) IB components out there. Congratulations on doing such a fine job. >>Barry McClure
