CBuilder

I am beginning to hear about CBuilderX. Is NexusDB going to support that
platform?

Thanks,

William

I'm not speaking for NexusDB in any way.

CBuilderX, as far as have been made known from Borland (wich is amost zero)
is right now uncertain about BCBX supporting the VCL, i.e., pascal code. The
whole idea behind BCBX is to have a 100% ANSI C++ compiler, wich __fastcall,
__property and so on doesn't fit so well.

MAYBE (and I really hope so) Borland will give, us, their actual BCB
customers a way to use all the VCL invesments we have. In case they make a
special compiler and libraries available to use the VCL, I will try my best
to have Nexus working under BCBX. But this will be (as far as I know) a
"translation" step to help actual BCB users migrate to BCBX (and the new C++
framework). The future? I don't know. Maybe NexusDB could produce a NexusDB
for C++ version, targeting multiplataform and so on... wich indeed is a good
idea. Not likely to happen in one or two months though

I repeat, I'm not speaking for NexusDB in anyway, it's just my point of
view.

Regards,

Rodrigo Gómez

In addition to Rodrigo's post, let me say that if Borland provides no easy
way to use 'legacy' pascal VCL code, it just won't happen. Supporting
entirely different codebases is just too big a headache. Join the CBuilderX
user's petition for VCL compatibility. :-)

Rodrigo and Eivind,

Thanks for you information. I certainly hope there is a way to use NexusDB
in CBuilderX. If not, that means that I would have to abandon one of them
and I do not want to do that.

Thanks again,

William

Presumably (not knowing much about CBX at all), it will be able to use .Net
providers... that should help

I have not played with CBuilderX, but I think there are some possible
options:

1) presumably it can use the MSVC compiler, so there is no reason why you
couldn't sacrifice the cross platform capability and write code to use
NexusDB via ODBC or build COM wrappers around NexusDB.

2) Use some middleware and expose NexusDB data through web services. I've
been looking at gSoap for some time and it looks to be a good crossplatform
MPL'd C++ SOAP implementation. The main problem here is the performance of
XML as a stream format, but depending on your application, this may work
just fine.

Brian,

Thanks for you help. My main concern is the I have just started rewriting a
fairly large FF2 program with hopes for porting it to Linux. At this point
I am only looking at Windows and Linux. I was planning to use NexusDB for
both environments.

Thanks again,

William

My recomendation would be to use Kylix instead of waiting or using BCBX.
BCBX is, or seems to be, a good product, but it's a version 1 product, and
not all products are as good as Nexus in the first version. *g*.

The new framework and compiler won't be available at least for some time
(hopefully a few months) in other form than the preview, that I don't know
how buggy they are, or how much visual components you will find for the new
framework.

I will stay with BCB 6 for a while, at least until the future of BCBX (and
VCL) is clear.

Rodrigo,

That make sense. I will proceed with CLX and isolate the user interface as
much as possible from the core application.

Thanks for all the help,

Willaim

Hello,
I've just seen a presentation of BCBX 2 days ago, lead by DavidI. He said,
it will not include VCL nor pascal compiler, like BCB6 does. But it should
let the old projects compile. How it will be spossible, i really don't know.
The future is uncertain. With BCBX i would advise other and myself to wait
until version 2.0 is released.
