My current application is build with Delphi 2.0 and BDE 3.51. I want to
upgrade the BDE to version 5.*. According to borland every new BDE is
backwards compatible ....(

Are there any known problems??? (i still stick to delphi 2.0)

thanks

I don't know about upgrading 3.51 to 5.x, but my workplace did run into a
problem when we upgraded from BDE 4.0 to 4.5.  It was a Delphi 2 program
accessing an Oracle 7.3 database.  When the new BDE was installed, users
other than the owner of the database got errors accessing some of the tables
that had Oracle LONG type data.  After a lot of wild-goose chasing, I
finally got the program to run with the new BDE by putting the owner name in
front of the table name in the TTables and TQuerys.

We now have to convert our Delphi 2 and 3 programs to Delphi 4 to be Y2k
compatible.  Because of our experience with BDE 4.5, we don't trust BDE 5 to
work with the existing programs.  Therefore we are going to a lot of trouble
to keep 2 BDE versions on the file servers, and distributing .reg files to
convert between them.

So keep the old BDE around just in case.
