Updating the source code for an existing DBISAM application so that it works with ElevateDB is a 3-step process that is outlined below:

Step 1 - Rename All Component References

The first step is to rename all component references so that they are using the new ElevateDB component names. You can find information on the component name changes in the Component Changes topic.

Step 2 - Modify All Property, Method, and Event References

The second step is to modify all property, method, and event references so that they are using the new ElevateDB properties, methods, and events. You can find information on the changes to the properties, methods, and events in the Component Changes topic. In many cases you will find that ElevateDB requires an SQL statement to be executed in place of what used to be a method call in DBISAM.

Step 3 - Modify All SQL Statements

The third and final step is to modify all existing DBISAM SQL statements so that they use the new ElevateDB syntax. You can find information on the differences in the SQL implementations of DBISAM and ElevateDB in the SQL Changes topic.
