Speech
From BDE/Paradox to Client/Server in 5 Minutes
There are still a lot of applications around which use the BDE and Paradox to store data. Due to the fact that direct file access can be over the network, index and data corruption is a common problem. In addition, PC based data access in a multi-user environment can be very slow. Both issues can be solved by implementing a Client/Server Database Management System (DBMS).
Classically, migrating an existing application to a DBMS could be very difficult. In this sesssion you will see just how easy it is to move your existing BDE/Paradox application to Client/Server using Advantage Database Server and Delphi 2009.
