Re: ADO vs dbExpress

Has anyone found any evaluations or conclusions on whether ADO or
dbExpress is the better choice for DB connectivity?

We are currently using SQL 2005 and ADO seems like a logical choice,
however, dbExpress seems to require more components to connect to the
DB: conneciton, datasource, data source provider, client data source,
and query, while ADO only requires connection and datasource and
table/query.

Speed-wise, I beleive them to be about the same and we do not have a
lot of traffic.

But if one is better/easier, I would surley like to know.

I already developed a couple things, relatviely easily, using ADO, but
wanted opinions on dbExpress.

We are using Delphi 2006 Developers Studio.

ADO is a lot easier to work with Microsoft SQL server than dbExpress is.
