In article <D8r9s3.Gn8@its.csiro.au>, > Haven't had a chance to look at Delphi yet (only interested really if I > can get it to talk to a *real* DB engine) *BIG* Delphi bummer is that the current version 1.0 only talks to 4.x engines (Because, according to the Borland person I spoke to, Informix were entirely unforthcoming about the interface to Inet for Windows). The latest Delphi in beta apparently talks to modern engines without a problem. We're going with NewEra over Delphi for two main reasons: - Informix are providing application partioning (an absolute essential for any industrial strength client server applications) - We have a zillion lines of 4GL code that we can port to NewEra without any great effort. If ease/speed of development were our major consideration we might be choosing a different product... ------------------------------------,------------------------------------------ Kerry Sainsbury, kerry@kcbbs.gen.nz | THE INFORMIX FAQ v2.2 Mar 95 Quanta Systems, Auckland | kcbbs.gen.nz:/informix/informix.[faq|apx] New Zealand.
