I've played around with it a little bit, using ViaODBC from Via
Systems.  It worked, but was a little slow.  We ended up using the
WinLink 3.0 drivers (also from Via Systems) to access our uniVerse
data from Delphi.  I've written Delphi wrapper objects for many of
these DLL functions; my employer (Featherlite Mfg.) has graciously
allowed me to release the source to the public.  If you, or anyone
else, would like copies, please email me and I'll send it UUEncoded
and Zipped (unless otherwise requested).

We have been doing a LOT of work with Delphi lately ..... though I don't think
we have played with ODBC as our current development efforts are a little more
"generic" ..... anyway, whats the question & I'll see if we can answer .....

Hio ross, Thanks for the interest.

No no real question - other than the fact of asking who is doing any work with Delphi and D3. Also
I think we have had enough of demo's with ODBC and how great Microsoft is - that I wish to tread
the path that is less used and try my luck with Delphi - get it?

Delphi seems a great product and has much potential (as I see it) to be a great interface between
user and legacy D3 platform. Also I hear some rumbling re Netscape and Delphi which could be great
for the industry.

Please keep me posted (and so will I0

I have been working with Delphi and Microsft SQL server.  ODBC seems to be
very slow, however using the SQL Links (only with the more expensive
client/server edition) does much better.

Remember ODBC is slow ONLY if the driver is slow.  It is NOT ODBC that is
being slow here!  ODBC is not slow!

1. D3 ODBC / Delphi

Tony. (was going to include in reply to your JDBC posting)

What is your take on D3/ODBC? I seam to recall you are a bit critical of
D3/ODBC.

Lennie is busy deploying his first phase of his Delphi5/ODBC/D3 app and it
is working great. Speed is fine. App is read only at present. He is still
trying to get the D3 class lib to work with Delphi (He is working on a
possible solution). D3 on Linux, clients Win2000 with the odd Win9x.

Is basing ones app on ODBC a good strategy when the database is D3?
What other alternatives?
JD3? Very cool, but seams like few are taking it up (refer your .Net
posting) and may not be ready for enterprise.
Flashconnect? Pricing for small site
mvD/Flashconnect? PRICING and few D3 "hardheads" realising what a great
IDE/middleware combination it is for D3.
.Net? Not available yet and no free trail version.
Telnet? Still waiting for Tony to deliver the goods.

Delphi comments
Advantages:
Superb IDE, with fanatical following
Non MS
No runtime costs

Disadvantages:
Each minor change requires a client reinstall of app (though not a major
problem in small office, this is where mvD really shines as most business
logic on D3 and client code in single lib file which is either on server or
can easily be autoupdated as app loads.)
Non MS
Very few D3 sites (if any) using it
D3 class lib not compatible (ie can not really make full use of D3 basic
subs)
