General Question - RB 7.04 to 9.x oe 10.x

rbuser

Hi Guys,

Having missed a few versions and still working in Delphi7 and RB7.04,
what's significant in RB8, 9, or now 10, that makes it a compelling
upgrade from 7.04? New features/enhancements?

Regards,

Ian

Hi Nard,

OK, downloaded the RB10 Ent demo, installed it, added the MySQL &
DBISAM DADEs, the same one's from your web site I tried under 7.04, and
it all works fine & as expected, with a minor, or major depending on
your tolerance factor, annoyance. In both cases, in the
DataDictionary, doing a right-click|Configure in the Tables will not
automatically populate with the tables from the Database. They can
however be added manually and it all works OK from there.

I guess it's worth the US$399, approx AU$500, to upgrade to have
something work that perhaps should have worked equally well in 7.04. I
guess.. To quell the perhaps obvious question, yes I did clean out
RB7.04ent and reinstall everything to make sure I hadn't screwed
anything up over time.

My upgrade order will be lodged after the 20th when I get paid.

Regards,

Ian

1. Check that you have configured the DataDictionary.BuilderSettings. This
requires that the DADE plug-in you are using be installed into the Delphi
IDE and that you have a valid mySQL connection. The SessionType should be
the DADE plug-in session type and the DataBaseName should be the name of the
mySQL connection component.

2. It is also possible to run the DataDictionary Builder at run-time. If
after peforming the steps in number 1 above, there is still an issue, try
the tech tip below. In addition to the example below, you will need to
configure the DataDictionary BuilderSettings as described above.

Tech Tip: Using the DataDictionary Builder at run-time
-------------------------------------------------------

uses
daDataDictionaryBuilder;


procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
lForm: TdaDataDictionaryBuilderForm;

begin
lForm := TdaDataDictionaryBuilderForm.Create(Application);
lForm.DataDictionary := ppDataDictionary1;

if lForm.ValidSettings then
lForm.ShowModal
else
ShowMessage(lForm.ErrorMessage);

lForm.Free;
end;
