Just got XE5 and looking to port an XE2/FIBPlus application to it, I would like to use FireDAC instead of FIBPlus as FIB+ dosen't seem to be as supported as it once was and FireDAC gives me the opportunity to use other database back ends for fussy customers. I was looking at the refind utility the EMB provide for BDE or AnyDAC migration to FireDAC. It uses a text file with rules in it and I was wondering if anyone has one that they have already done for FibPlus to FireDAc that they had success with. Lazy I know but why reinvent the wheel :)
I'm in the same boat. FIB+ seems to be dead... or at least really inactive. I think I might pay money for a FIB+ to FireDAC converter of some sort.
ReplyDeleteThe utility is there is comes free with Xe5 but there are a few issues with it and you need to setup the rules yourself. Have a look at http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/refind_and_bde_migration.html. My plans have changed and I think I'm going to re-write the app to make use of the newer things delphi can do and I will probably go with TMS Aurelius
