DBX4: ODBC Bridge urgently needed

[Gerald Ebner]

Dear all,

replacing BDE by dbexpress (DBX4) we are faced with the urgent need of a
dbx4 - odbc bridge to be able to connect to a Access DB.
In general I see little dedication of Borland / 3rd parties / the open
source community to develop DBX4 drivers, e.g. a driver for PG
The only DBX - ODBC solution available (from sourceforge.net) dates back to
2003, i.e. DBX2.
Is there any hope that Borland will at least migrate this good old odbc-dbx
driver?

thanx
Gerald

Add a feature request to QC, vote for it, post the QC number and ask
others to vote for it.

So others may vote on it...

Thanks for creating the QC report. You should have voted for it too. I
gave it two votes.

Perhaps more important, make sure you take the 2008 Delphi Survey on
Code Central and request it there.

Hello,

1. I couldn't vote as this functionality is currently broken in the
web client! (okay was too lazy to fire up my VM with a Delphi
installation and a QC client)

2. I did fill out the survey, but I didn't mention that one because
it's not important to me but rather to others and rather in a
general way.

3. Thanks for opening and voting it!

Greetings

Markus

Currently there are some 3rd parties busy creating DBX4 drivers. Since
DBX is completely rewritten it will take some time to get it all done.
We are hoping to deploy a sqlite driver for dbx4 within a few weeks. But
there are more people working on this.
