I am about to upgrade EDB from 2.24 to 2.28 ( All apps client server).   I have checked the release notes and there appears to be no issues but I would like to confirm that apps built using 2.28 will run error free with the 2.24 server  until I get time to upgrade my clients servers (all running as services)

Thanks

Michael

You can find details of changes to EDB between 2.24 and 2.28 in the change-list documents which Tim shares.

I note that the switch to large-file support in 2.28 means:

"If you are using local ElevateDB sessions to directly access shared databases on a file server, you need to make sure that all client applications that are accessing the data are either updated to 2.28 or have their pre-2.28 TDBISAMEngine LargeFileSupport and/or LocalLargeFileSupport properties set to True. Failure to do so can cause the local ElevateDB sessions to not see each other's locks, which can lead to database corruption."

Generally, EDB works fine if all users are using the same version. Updates / upgrades rarely include strongly breaking changes.

Note that this means if you have an EXE that accesses the DB with a local connection and one that accesses it through EDB-Server, then the EXE should be rebuilt with the new components, and the clients should have the new EDB-Server distributed at the same time.

Thanks for the reply  

All my clients are C/S as stated so I dont think there shouild be an issue  Just wanted confirmation that server and client misatch ( in either direction)  isnt a problem

Yes, you can connect 2.28 EDB sessions to a 2.24 EDB Server without issue.
