Migrating an existing DBISAM application to ElevateDB is a 3-step process that is outlined below:

Step 1 - Migrating a DBISAM Database Using the ElevateDB Manager or Migrating a DBISAM Database Using Code

The first step is to migrate the existing DBISAM database (or databases) to ElevateDB format. This can be accomplished interactively via the ElevateDB Manager or via the MIGRATE DATABASE statement.

Step 2 - Renaming the DBISAM Components

The second step is to rename any existing DBISAM components in the application to their ElevateDB counterparts. This can be accomplished manually in the Delphi, C++Builder, Borland Developer Studio, CodeGear RAD Studio, Embarcadero RAD Studio, or Lazarus IDE.

Step 3 - Updating the Source Code

The third step is to update the application source code so that it uses the new ElevateDB components. This the most involved step of the migration process.
