Hi

there is a bug in MyDac (#08501 BAD HANDSHAKE)

i bought a new version mydac

but i have also SDAC and ibdac

and get message when install new mydac version "Setup has detected allery installed DAC packages which are uncompatibile with current version please uninstall all dac proucts...)

does i need to buy all new versions for this components ?!! renew licences to all components (SDAC,ibdac) ? because of error in mydac ?

its rather expensive

Hello,

The point is that all DAC products use common base packages. That's why product compatibility is provided for the current build only. In order to continue using several DAC products simultaneously, you should upgrade all of them at the same time.

I have similar problem and in my opinion the policy of DevArt can make users to migrate to other solution. When due to incompatibility of one component we have to buy them all (upgrade) again.

This restriction is caused by the specifity of DAC components architecture. They all share common engine, and that is why several DAC components can work simultaneously on the same IDE only if they have the same core libraries. You can use incompatible versions of DAC components only if you are using them on different IDEs or computers. Another solution is to use UniDAC, that provides common way of working with different databases. UniDAC Professional Edition includes providers for all supported database servers, so you will not need any other DAC components installed on your computer.
