RAD Studio 2007 Pro - ODBC

Hi, 

Have been considering possibility of upgrading to RAD Studio 2007 
Professional from Delphi 5. 


Right now the applications I have developed all connect to either SQL 
Server 2005 or Oracle 10g via BDE-ODBC 


I had a quick look through the comparison sheets but couldn't see 
anything there, but will I be able to continue using ODBC connections 
in RAD Studio 2007 professional to these databases?

The BDE is still present, although it is not developed further. You
should have no problems with your existing code.

If I remember correctly, new installs on a blank computer no longer 
install SQL Links or what have you, so the ODBC driver may not be present. 
  You may have to install the older BDE then upgrade it with RAD Studio 2007.
