We developed all our in-house business systems using Delphi 2.0 and third
party
VCL's and Borland's BDE. Our hardware consists of an NT 4.0 server and 7
workstations running Windows 95. It has served us well for the past 10
years and are in
no hurry to convert. However, since we may be upgrading certain of our
workstations to
either Win2000 or XPPro and have heard that there may be issues involved in
running D2 and the BDE on these OS's, we are in the process of determining
what RDMS and
developement software we should migrate to. One big question we need to
answer is,
"What is the best way to learn SQL?". We understand that the speed of
Interbase is very good and will want to use it or Firebird. We also would
like suggestions as to which IDE to use in developement. Thanks in advance
for any advice.
