Delphi 2010和Firebird 1.5

Question

Can I continue to use the interbase vcl components in delphi 2010 with firebird 1.5? Thanks

Answer 1

We've used the IBX components in Delphi 2010 with FB 1.5 and 2.1, no problems - both embedded and client/server versions of Firebird.

We had a large legacy app in D7 that used IBX and IB6.01, we didn't have the resources to go and redevelop the whole thing using dbx so had a go with the newer version of IBX and Firebird and it went like a dream.

The only gotchas we had were to do with UDFs; we had written a few Interbase UDFs of our own that conflicted with newer, built-in functions etc in Firebird. I was happy to drop our UDFs and use the 'official' ones!

如果它仍然是：Borland \\ CodeGear \\ Embarcadero Delphi（2010-或XE +）的最佳组件是“FIBPlus” http://devrace.com/en/fibplus/

Answer 3

We still use IBX in our legacy application, though it gets hard. For example it does not support version check for Firebird. It does not suppoer EXECUTE BLOCK, INSERT RETURNING and so on.

Int64 (bigInt) type is also problematic, because Interbase has boolean type at that index instead. But other than that it seem to work.

While generally we'd switch to Unified Interbase component set, for safety and better compatibility, for now it does not worth it.

I also suggest you IBX extension - download link is below: http://www.loginovprojects.ru/index.php?page=ibxfbutils

Answer 4

I'm not sure about the Interbase components, but I've been able to successfully use Firebird under D2010 with DB Express. I used the DBX driver found at http://sites.google.com/site/dbxfirebird/ .

Answer 5

带有DbExpress的D2010似乎与Firebird配合得很好。

Answer 6

As IBX have to support legacy code for Interbase, it will work. Better, it still work with FB 2.1. I think you should read this blog post. http://compaspascal.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-to-use-firebirdibx.html

Also check comments for one update that you will need to make in IBX sources if you will work with non default or Unicode Charsets and Collations.
