I knew very well Borland Pascal 7.0 and I was very impressed about the language improvements in Delphi (I know about them only from the magazines). But I never had time to work with Delphi and I know nothing on the database enhancement (from Pascal 7 to Delphi). Anyway, a language powerfull like C++, reliable and coherent like Pascal and DBMS in the same time... This is real something. Unfortunately is not a MS product and it seems to me that this is the main problem with Delphi. :)
