win linux application

Hi
I have to develope an application (It's a data-entry with 2 db tables)
under windows, but I have to run it also under linux...
Is that possible?
which database I have to use?

thanks,

bye luca
PS: I'm new to borland delphi, and there are several approach to dbs,
which is the best for me?

 

Re:win linux application


Interbase is supported on Win and Linux.
You can use DbExpress or Ibx, dedicated ib access components.

Dbexpress is a new tech to access data on IB, Oracle, Db2 and MySql.
Ibexpress is vcl to access only interbase db.
So, if you want to change db later, you must change all data access
components.

Ps: where are you from? Why you don't write at it.comp.lan.delphi?

Re:win linux application


If I understand your situation correctly, here is one way to do it:

Write your app in Delphi 6 using CLX components instead of the
Windows-oriented VCL components. Then, with a few very minor
adjustments, you can compile the same source code you wrote for
Delphi, but using Kylix (2.0 is the latest version) to get an
executable that runs in Linux. This can be used to work with a
file-basedl database, local or on a fileserver, or a remote SQL
database server, which can be running under most any operating system,
including Linux. Check the Borland site.

hth,
Dan
