Hi, I have been using Delphi 6 and DBISAM 3.24 for a couple of years,
and my company start developing new products by Delphi 2005, I am
totally new to this, I have a few questions here.

1. Are there any DB UI components to use. I used to use InfoPower
(TwwDBEdit, TwwDBLookupCombo ......)

2. I was using TDBISAMTable, TDBISAMDatabase in D6, are there any
similar components I could install in Delphi 2005?

3. Is it a must to use SQL command to manipulate data? I could use some
delphi code to do so in D6, eg.

with aTable do
  while not Eof do
  begin
    if FieldByName('aField').isNull then
    begin
      Edit;
      FieldByName('aField').AsString := 'aValue';
      Post;
    end;

    next;
  end;


Sorry for my ugly English and thanks for your answers.

Just download and install the DBISAM version for D2006, (buy) install the infopower components and keep on as though you're still in D6.

I've "upgraded" to D2006 and there's little or no difference for DBISAM.

Thanks so much, I will try.

I believe you can still use InfoPower with Delphi 2005.

Sure, just download and install the DBISAM for Borland Developer Studio
(Delphi 2005) version and you'll be all set.

Sure, the code works exactly the same with both D6 and D2005.
