Bill Todd's comments in Delphi Informant2003-07-11 06:47:21 AM kylix1 In the August 2003 edition of Delphi Informant, Bill Todd made these comments in an article titled "Life after the BDE": "Borland...wanted a data access technology that would run on both Windows and Linux..." "Unfortunately, the explosive growth in Linux that Borland had hoped for did not happen and they are stuck supporting dbExpress and it's drivers". I disagree with his negative assessment of dbExpress. I think the light-weight model is more like ADO.Net, and the industry in general seems to be moving towards light-weight database access. But his comment about Borland's dissatisfaction with Kylix in the marketplace seems to be on target. Eric |
