Hi Simon. What do you see as the possible benefit of using Delphi with Sybase ADS (Advantage Database Server) over using VFP with ADS? When using ADS as your database, then using VFP as the client to the data is just like using Delphi on the client - except that you get all the great features in VFP that aren't in Delphi. I'd be curious to know more about your thoughts on this and what you've learned and concluded since you originally posted this thread.

I've created some Sybase ADS for VFP related content you might want to check out. I wrote a full special issue of FoxRockX on the subject, available for PDF download. And I've posted an introduction screencasts. You can find those links on my blog at http://mashupx.com/blog/sybase/ and more related info on the http://sybase.com/foxpro portal (which will be updated soon).

>I was researching Advantage Database as a possible to tool to use with VFP tables and noticed that they had a Delphi Client. I owned Delphi a long time ago and remembered it had database tools etc. and it produced fast code so I just started to wonder about the combination. I also have some concern about the bloat around .Net.
