Sybase Drivers for Delphi 2010

We are migrating from Delphi 6 to Delphi 2010,earlier we were using BDE engine to connect to Sybase Database from Delphi 6. We found out that Delphi 2010 does not support BDE.

We are trying with dbexpress but we are not able to catch the exception(raise error) thrown by Sybase.

Could you please let me know if there is any other driver except dbexpress to connect to Sybase Database from Delphi 2010.

Thanks.

Regards, AS

Solution

  • You could try a workaround:

    1. Install Delphi 6
    2. Update BDE to the latest available version (there should be some updates on Embarcadero site, I hope)
    3. Install Delphi 2010

    IIRC the available SQL Links should not be removed (otherwise it would break the older version), and they should still work in Delphi 2010. But that's really a stopgap try.

    Devart's UniDac can connect to Sybase without using dbExpress, but I never used it.
