Hi Tim,
there are news on Enterprise release of EDB?
Another question: Somebody have performance benchmark on query against
Firebird, My Sql and SQL server? Any experience?
There are areas where EDB shines on performance or all the other are better
in query result time? Somebody have tested the same data on different
databases?
Thanks in advance...
God job,
Stefano Monterisi

Stefano,

I know that it's taking forever, and my apologies for that.  I hope to have
the new fail-safe single-file format done soon, and then I can start getting
it ready for EDB 3.x.

Do you have any of the other database engines ?  You should be able to
conduct your own tests pretty easily using standard SQL statements.

Tim,

If its too early to tell, I understand, but are there any plans for 3.x
to have the necessary drivers to work with entity framework 4.0? Do you
envision a server that can be run on Azure?


Thanks,

Sean

Sean,

I'm in the process of making this switch.  Essentially I've got to move the
core engine stuff into a separate native DLL, and port the existing
front-end code from the Delphi 2007 .NET compiler to Delphi Prism.  I'm
part-way through the port of the core engine, and then I can work on the
front-end code.  Once the front-end is in Delphi Prism, I can work on the EF
code.

Probably not.  A better bet, and more open option, is Amazon EC2.  The
problem with Microsoft, especially from our standpoint, is that they are
(literally) trying to kill companies like us - they give away SQL Server for
free in our product space, and make up for it on the high end, and all of
their development products hobble competitor integration into the IDE in
favor SQL Server.  This is also true with Azure, which favors the usage of
SQL Server.
