I scrolled down further this time and found

DbIsam To EDB
Convert all dbIsam database component to Elevate Software EDB

I wonder what it actually does. If its just what it says here then I have a global string change program I wrote yonks ago which will do the same - and its free to anyone who asks.

If it goes through and alters all the SQL to the right format its definitely worth having.

Ian,

<< I will no doubt have a few questions under this thread. >>

If you want to perform any type of exclusive lock like a table lock in EDB, just use a special table with two columns, one for the lock type and one for the lock status, and treat each row as a separate lock type.  As long as you're using pessimistic row locking with the session, then you will get the equivalent functionality to the LockTable/UnlockTable methods in DBISAM.

Ian,

<< Is there any equivalent to DBISAM's Session StrictChangeDetection in EDB? >>

No, not in an automatic, turn it off-and-on fashion.

The equivalent is performing a Refresh call before any dataset access that requires the freshest data.  However, please note that *most* EDB operations already do this, including SQL, and EDB *always* makes sure that inserts, updates, and deletes operate on the most recent version of any given row.
