BDE migration wizard C++Builder XE2

Post by javier4517 » Thu 27 Oct 2011 12:58

Hi

We are currently trying your product and so far so good. One of the main interest we have on your product is that we are currently making a heavy use of the BDE and we believe you have done a fantastic work trying to facility the migration away from BDE.

However I was unable to find the BDE wizard on the MySQL menu, and after looking to the help, I found this:
“To run the Wizard, select BDE Migration Wizard item in MySQL menu and follow the instructions. BDE Migration Wizard does not support C++Builder and Kylix IDEs.”

So my questions are:
1- Do you have any plans to support this on C++Builder IDE? (We plan to use C++Builder XE2)
2- In the mean time, which do you think would be the best approach to migrate an application with more than 100 forms, each of them making use of TTable and TQuery components.

Regards

Javier

Hello,

1. For the time being there are very few users who work with C++Builder and need this functionality. If there are many users who want this functionality to be implemented, we will implement it.
2. You can use the Find&Replace functionality of any file manager that has it. It's the fastest way of manual migration from BDE to MyDAC.
