You seem to be confused about how a programming IDE should "work" with a
database engine. Could you expose a little more information about how your
application code actually interfaces with the database API? The key areas
you might mention here include ODBC, BDE, DBX, ADOBb, IB Objects, IBX (to
name but a few)....

Borland's "editions" of a product are determined by what they leave
out. So what it boils down to is this: does the Professional edition
exclude something you need in order to use the application interface you
want to use? One might guess, for example, that the Pro edition might
exclude the DBX libraries and/or a needed driver; or that the TDataset
hierarchy might be missing from the Pro version, precluding the use of IBX,
FIBPlus, et al. that rely on this hierarchy being present.

You don't, for example, need the Enterprise editions of Delphi to interface
a native IBO application to a Firebird database....same goes for BCB, at
least versions 5 and below, that I know of.
