Database Components

[Dooda]

Can anyone advise me what components are available to use with Delphi 2005 and the current Mimer version (10), and how well they work?

It looks like they offer a dbExpress driver and an ODBC driver.

I can't vouch for their abilities, however.

Thanks, DjangMan. I haven't really done any coding for a long while, and when I last looked at using a sql db (instead of Paradox) it seemed that one needed a tailored set of database components. Presumably that is not now the case, as dbExpress components are accessible in the tool palette when the form is visible.

Using the ADO components will give you access to most SQL databases and is fairly straight forward to use. Using dbExpress can result in faster access times but you need to do more work when compared to using the ADO components.
