dbxpress depricated? What replaces it?

[Alchemist]

All,

This is probably (hopefully) a stupid question but Im getting started
porting a ISAPI DBX app from Delphi7 to Delphi 2007 and I have it compiling
except I receive a warning that DBXpress has been depricated.

Is there something that is a drop in replacement? Does it use DBX4
automatically? Just wondering what I have to do to make sure this is
running.

Thanks In Advance

Deprecated? Hardly! Perhaps a certain unit is, but not the feature or
library itself. "DBX4" is another name for dbExpres 4, which is the
significant upgrade to dbExpress 3.

In fact, DBX is listed as one of the reasons to upgrade:

And is boasted as one of the new features:

Right. The unit dbxexpress.pas is deprecated and mostly empty. It has
been replaced by DBXCommon.pas in DBX4.
