BDE to DBExpress

BDE to DBExpress
22 Feb 2007 11:57:35 -0800
Hi,

I have an application BDE that needs to move for DBEXpress.
Exists some tool for this or must make manually? 
Borland recommends some tool in special? 
I verified this and noticed that great alterations will be made in my
application. 

Thanks,

You don't say what database engine and table format you want to
move to.  There are lots of options, and no clear best option.
It's a bit outdated, but see http://www.kylecordes.com/bag
for more information.  If this is single user or a small
group of users, dbISAM and Advantage Database Server both offer
fairly easy conversion.  Advantage has a local server that is
free, and if you need to step up to the full client/server at
some point, that conversion is also simple.  If it's a
multi-user networked app, you may want to move up to a true
client/server like Interbase or Firebird -- Advantage would
also be an option here.

But there's no magic "instant conversion" tool.
