ElevateDB Vs DBISam 4 |
Sun, Aug 19 2007 9:01 PM | Permanent Link |
"Gregory Sebastian" | I currently use DBISam V3.3 and I'm thinking about upgrading to a newer
product to be used with Delphi 2007 for Win32. My question is, should I even be considering DBISam V4? Is ElevateDB meant to replace DBISam or are they both separate/ different product lines with their own upgrade paths ? For example, will there also be a DBISam V5 or V6 etc at some stage in the future? Regards Gregory Sebastian |

My reading of Tim's posts on the matter are that DBISAM will be supported / developed for the next 1 - 2 years but will then be phased out. My advice would be don't go through the pain of upgrading from V3 to V4 and then the pain of upgrading from V4 to ElevateDB. You might as well get it over with and it won't hurt so much Roy Lambert |

Stuart Kelly | We've already purchased DBISAM 4 but are still using 3.30.
I'm trying to convince our lead developer to change, but I don't think he is too keen. I don't think I've much chance of convincing him to spend $729.00, even though it is roughly half price here in the UK. Cheers, Stu |

DBISAM will be supported for some time still, but minor version releases (not builds) will probably cease by the beginning of next year. This does not include new compiler releases, however. We will continue to support DBISAM and offer new builds/compiler releases for as long as possible. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"Gregory Sebastian" | Hi Stuart, > We've already purchased DBISAM 4 but are still using 3.30. Any reason why you did not jump straight to ElevateDB but decided to purchase DBISam 4 first ? Regards Gregory Sebastian |

"Gregory Sebastian" | Tim,
Is ElevateDB able to open DBISam V3.3 databases or am I able to programmatically upgrade a DBISam V3.3 Db such that it can be opened in ElevateDB ? Basically, my newer apps (using ElevateDB) need to be able to open and upgrade earlier DBIsam V3.3 databases. Or do you have any documentation that I can refer to for porting DBISam V3.3 to ElevateDB ? Thanks Gregory Sebastian |

ElevateDB comes with a suite of convertors covering BDE and DBISAM 1 - 4. Check out the support docs on Elevate's website and there is a migration guide. Roy Lambert |

Stuart Kelly | Hi Gregory,
> > Any reason why you did not jump straight to ElevateDB but decided to > purchase DBISam 4 first ? > We originally purchased the DBISAM 4 upgrade shortly after it was first released, so Elevate DB was not available yet To be fair, the main developer should have developed the program using DBISAM 4. We already had it before he started the current product, about a year ago, so I think it was just laziness on his part. Cheers Stu |

"Gregory Sebastian" | Thanks Roy,
I downloaded the trial version of ElevateDB and found detailed documentation on this there. As usual, I should have checked first before posting, sorry. Regards Gregory Sebastian |
