I am currently using ElevateDB 2.08 Client-Server with Delphi 7 and want
to upgrade to 2.18

1. Can I use the 2.18 Components with the 2.08 database server, or do I
need to upgrade the database server as soon I update the current
customer-software with a version which I compiled with the new 2.18
components?

2. which steps do I need to take in order to update the database server
at a client? Is it just replacing the edbsrvr.exe or do I need  "upgrade"
the databases and  the tables involved?

Thanks

Having a quick look at the release notes there are a number of breaking changes between 2.08 and now. Its possible that none will affect you but I personally wouldn't take the chance. Skimming I think that simply installing the latest (with the exception of the 2.15 unicode fix) will be all you need to do.

Should just be a drop in

Roy,

thank you for the quick reply!  
And thank you for reminding me of the release notes.
Could have thought of reading the release notes myself!
