Delphi database supports not only all features of those out-dated products but offers a range of additional possibilities as well and makes the migration pain free through compatible Interfaces.
Other than with the Borland BDE, there are no components installed in the operating system nor necessary configuration settings. You control the complete database access directly from the application.
TurboDB for VCL consists of our proven database engine, the typical VCL components TdbTable, TdbQuery, TdbDatabase, TdbBatchMove, designers for many versions of Delphi, C++ Builder, Borland Developer Studio as well as the usual tools with documentation.
The components fit in the development environment in the familiar way and also the programming is identical to the well-known VCL data access components from the BDE.
This database engine supports all Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero development environments from version 6 until today. This includes the Turbo editions as well. Exceptions: Delphi 8 and RAD Studio 2003.
The standard versions of some of the IDEs do not include support for database programming and are therefore not suited for TurboDB for VCL.
Features
* The complete database library can optionally be compiled into the application and requires less than 1 MB at run-time. In that way, the database is virtually invisible to the end-user.
* Large SQL feature set including DDL, foreign keys, transactions, Strong Encryption, collations (sorting after the rules of any foreign language) and full-text indexing.
* Entirely programmed in Delphi. Therefore no interfacing problems with ADO, OLE DB, dbExpress etc.

* Wizards for converting BDE databases and for importing any database via ADO.
