I'm a BORLAND C++ person, but I'm trying to teach myself DELPHI. Answering this question (thanks to all that replied), not only helped me in a project I started in DELPHI, but also an existing C++ program.
I've started a new project, trying to code it in DELPHI, and I know that at one point it will have to process a large DB. So, I created a large DB, with sample data in it, and processed through the DB like I eventually would have to. This is where the refreshing issue came up. Prior to this, any C++ program I had to write in BDS2006 that had to process DBs were relatively small (the DBs). For the ones that had larger DBs, they were usually only for my use, so the refreshing wasn't really an issue. The last project I did, was a program (in C++) that allows a person to take YAHOO groups and import them into a PHPBB board! After that was when I decided to try and learn DELPHI. Relatively speaking, the program was easy to write, and I wanted something to challenge me, hopefully. What better way is to learn another programming language. Trying to learn DELPHI with a heavy background in C++, and other languages (usually proprietary, mainframe languages - e.g. TAL, TACL, etc) is really an interesting endeavor. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here! :) Thanks again and Cheers! --- In [email protected], "c80840" <c80...@...> wrote: > > I use BDS2006, and I hope someone can give me advise.
