D6/Kylix have a common db access method (dbExpress) which is a locally
cached TClientDataSet ie Midas
(this will come in both pro and ent wheras in pre D5 Midas was Ent only) it
is similar in concept to an ADO
client/static dataset but with more control on the resolving process (ADO is
pretty limited in this area ie my way or no way)
Prob being that MS only release the MS SQL protocol to a limited no of Co's
and none that have done a native mode
adoexpress driver (and certainly not the .so for Kylix) but there is a 3rd
party adoexpress to ODBC bridge (for D6)
for Kylix you are still screwed. Answer look at Oracle/DB2 or PostgreSQL
Clear as mud?
