I assume delphi doesn't have a native database engine. if my assumtion is correct what method delphi uses to connect and work with databases (VFP,Access,SQL etc).
Delphi it self uses the BDE and with that you can connect to paradox and dbase III database.
For other databases their are several solutions. You can use ODBC drivers which are supported by the BDE. Within Delphi you use the standard delphi components.
An other solutions is to search for components you will connect native to one or several database without the use of the BDE
when you go to
Delphi has hits native database engine called the Borland Database Engine, can be compared to the ODBC applet in the control panel but ways more powerfull.
Delphi comes in 3 versions.
1) Personal version, the BDE which ships with this version gives connections to paradox, dbase and access, enfim the desk top database systems, It also supports the ODBC drivers, but the performance with the native BDE drivers is far more better then any ODBC.
2) Professional version, comes with Local Interbase which is a limited RDBMS, there is a restriction on remote connections.
3) Enterprise, comes with ADO components, SQL-drivers for all the big players in the RDBMS industry like Oracle, Sybase, Interbase, DB2, Informix, SQL-Server, Fox Pro and others. It comes also with Interbase with a 5 user license for developping and testing Client-Server systems. S. van Els
