Of bug-fixing or bugs?

Bugs: Well....

I'm sure there are lots more (but I guess no MAJOR showstoppers). Check BDE
newsgroup.

That's changed, then, no?
It appears to be valid only for SQLLinks. I asked if the VCL was

considered legacy like the BDE. The response was the VCL was not legacy
and only SQLLinks was legacy.

I would definitely move away from it. it is really provided for legacy
support only.

Borland has been warning for years that it is only safe to use

BDE for read-only access to FoxPro tables.

If you need to keep your data in FoxPro tables, it is best to
get another database engine for editing.

There's a freeware TDBF component on sourceforge, IIRC, that we're

using with great success in some fairly heavy duty FoxPro ->Oracle
conversion stuff.

Re: Delphi 2005 & BDE

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I need to handle CDX. I think I
will keep BDE + ODBC.

Well, do it at your own risk. Several other database engines

are better for editing FoxPro tables with CDX indexes. One
choice is Advantage Database Server, and the local server is
free.

Foxpro works way better with ODBC/ADO.
