    dbExpress is faster for working with SQL Server than ADO
    However ADO is better adapted to SQL server so it is easier to work with.
    I suggest you post in the dbExpress newsgroup and ask for input from anyone
    actually using DBexpress with SQL server

    There have been a lot of productivity enhancements for the programmer from 5-7
    and D2005 has even more. So I would recommend upgrading just for those
    improvements.
