Hi Tim,

Is anything like that on the table? If yes, any timeframe?

Thanks,
Lucian

Hello Lucian,

> Is anything like that on the table? If yes, any timeframe?

You move to Delphi 2009 and still want to use DBISAM(=ANSI) ...
Not a wise decision ...

Yes and yes.

Hey, I'm also using Vista

Hello Lucian,

> Hey, I'm also using Vista

I do too and after SP1 & around 400+ POST-SP1 patches it's finally fast
& solid! Can't wait to get sp2 beta

Anyhow, Delphi 2009(Unicode) & DBISAM(Ansi) -> Performance loss ...

Now, why you don't give your customers the best of the best ?
IOW, Delphi 2009 & EDB v2 Unicode ...

2.15 Creating and Altering Tables

Introduction

Creating tables and altering the structure of existing tables is
accomplished through the CreateTable and
AlterTable methods of the TDBISAMTable component. The properties used
by the CreateTable and AlterTable
methods include the FieldDefs, IndexDefs, DatabaseName, TableName, and
Exists properties.

<< Is it possible to make a version of DBISAM which works under D2009 but
without the Unicode abilities. i.e. we will be able to use it as long as we
don't go beyond Ansi character set.  >>

Yes, we will be doing a version of DBISAM for Delphi 2009.

<< when is the Version for Delphi 2009 ready?  >>

It will be ready within the next couple of weeks.  It is next after the EDB
2.02 release.

My point is EDB does not have TEDB...Table.AlterTable method and
without it I can not upgrade. I have my own code that restructures
tables based on a schema file. It is heavily based on AlterTable and I
use this system in all my apps.

I don't think it's imposible for me to update my code, but frankly, I
work ~12/7 and can't see any chances for enough spare time to do that,
for at least another 8-10 months.

regards,
Lucian

Thanks

Lucian,

<< Is anything like that on the table? If yes, any timeframe? >>

Absolutely.  It will be available by the end of the week.
