Thread Embarcadero FireDAC driver and Monofile Database

Stefano Monterisi

Hi Tim,
two requests, an old one and a new... Smile
The new: FireDAc (AnyDac) is now the new universal DB access for Embarcadero. In the past, I have invited you to add EDB into DB list (MSSQL, Firebird, Oracle, etc...) that Anydac can manage with the SAME components and code. Do you remember?
Well, now Embarcadero annunce it as the official DB universal access. Please, can you work for add EDB driver? We now use it for the formidable Cached update (true) and a lot of big feature (Live data window) that are available for all managed db types; For those applications we use Firebird or MsSql, and not anymore EDB. Please consider this, so we can use EDB instead competitor databases, with the same application and code.
The old request: Monofiles DB. One file for DB, without catalog, add, idx, files, et... as Firebird does.
Good Job!
Sorry for my english;
Regards,
Stefano

Yes, and I contacted AnyDAC, received a response that he would work on it,
and that was it.

Until there's a driver development kit available (or, at the very least,
source code that shows how to write a driver), there's not much I can do.

Also, I have to balance your single request for this against the fact that
most ElevateDB customers just use the *native* components that we provide,
which already provide live access to tables (and query result sets) and
cached updates (and they've done so since the first release).  That's a lot
of work that could be better spent on more pressing issues/features.
