Hello, your brilliance...
We have developed a MIDAS app using Delphi 4 to be used with data being
managed by MS-SQL 6.5. Now, we need to upgrade the SQL server to 7.0. My
question is: Is Delphi 4 compatible with SQL server 7.0? What about Delphi
5?
I would very much appreciate your much sought guidance.
Thank you.
Richie C.

Regardless of Delphi version, using the BDE to access MSSQL is
semi-supported. The reason I say tihs is that BDE uses DbLib to access
MSSQL. With MSSQL7, DbLib is deprecated and the preferred data access to
MSSQL7 is ADO (or OLE-DB). MS also did not update the DbLib layer to take
advantage of some new features like GUID or Interface data types.

If you use D5 (or D4 with a third-party ADO library), you will have the full
scope of MSSQL7 functionality.
