Re: Migrate BDE Delphi 5 to ADO Delphi 2006


I have to upgrade several apps from Delphi 5 using the bde to Delphi 2006 and ADO.
I don't actually have the new version of Delphi yet so I am changing a couple of
forms to ADO in Delphi 5 right now. Are the ADO components the same in Delphi
2006? Should I be using ADO datasets or ADO queries? I use cached updates a
lot. What would be the best approach to this kind of upgrade?

Yes Ado components are the same.
If you are converting from BDE you will find the ADOQuery to be a closer match
in the properties it has so that would be easier to convert to.
If you are doing new work the TadoDataset is closer to other Borland dataset
components
AdoCompoents have a Batchupdate mode that is close to cached updates.
