Migrating from BDE to FireDAC

[shun 0]

Environment:

• C++Builder version: 5.0.12.34
• OS: Windows 10 Pro

 

Currently, I am using BDE to connect to the database. As I am planning to update C++Builder to a newer version, I should migrate to FireDAC.

What steps should I follow to achieve this?

This will be a good starting point:

I'm working on a team, migrating several dozen Delphi apps using the BDE to FireDAC and found the reFind utility to help a lot; it even has templates for the BDE-to-FireDAC migration to get you started. I expanded the template a lot to deal with several other facets of our internal migration needs.

Thank you for the useful link!

I appreciate the suggestion about the reFind utility—it sounds like a helpful tool. It's good to know it has templates for BDE-to-FireDAC migration.
