Delphi Database Engine Error

Paradox Databases, Windows 7 Windows 7 can be very restrictive towards applications written for the previous versions of Windows. This is the case with the Borland Database Engine (BDE), which is not capable of running in Windows7 unless two settings have

in the "BDE Administrator" program that's installed with the BDEInfoSetup utility. 1. First, configure the permission for the BDE in the registry… Make sure you are logged into your Windows7 machine with an administrator account. Then follow these install borland database engine directions: Go to Start | Run… Type regedit… Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch. Open the SOFTWARE branch. Right-Click on the entry labeled "Borland". In the menu that shows select Permissions. The following dialog will appear: Click "Users". Under "Permissions for Users ", select "Allow" for Full Control. Then click OK. Click OK to exit the Registry Key Permissions dialog box. Exit the Registry Editor window 2. Next the Borland Database Engine must be configured… The Borland Database Engine borland database engine windows 7 makes use of a special file called "Pdoxusrs.net" (the purpose of which is beyond the scope of this document). The default setting for the placement of this file is in the root of drive C, which will fail under Windows Windows7, as this operating system does not permit new files to be created here. However, it is permitted to designate any subfolder for the "Pdoxusrs.net" file to be placed. The name of this new folder is of minor importance and could be named anything you like. For example, here we will choose "BDEShare". (The name doesn't matter. It just needs to be any folder other than the root drive.) So let's stick with this example. Create a subfolder off the root drive C and name it "BDEShare". So the file path for this new subfolder will be "C:BDEShare". Remember this string value because you will need to enter it below. Now the BDE must be configured to use the new folder. This is done in the Windows control panel, where you will find an applet named "BDE administrator". Note that you will only see this after the BDE has been installed to your system (which should have been done automatically during the installation of your application). You can also find this utility under C:Program FilesBorlandCommon FilesBDEBDEADMIN.EXE Double-click the BDE Administrator to open it. You will see the following dialog

November 7, 2014 Leave a comment Go to comments We need a light database One of Delphi's strengths has always been it's support for databases. Even back in the day I remember C++ users looking over my shoulders at how easy it was for me to create a database application, while they themselves had to commit proverbial warfare on some bulky, esoteric API just to store lists. So when it comes to databases Delphi programmers have been spoiled rotten with an impressive menu of drivers and native engines. But as always there is a catch, and that catch used to be that you had to ship the BDE with your applications (which at the time was "wow, that simple?" factor. The basic and C guys had it much worse) if you were going to work with Interbase, Paradox or DBase - which were the heroes back then. Like many others I decided to skip the whole BDE and opt for a native, embedded database engine. Meaning a full database system written in Delphi itself as opposed to C/C++ (which really is the paradox here, since working with databases under C++ was a bit like shaving with a cheese grinder: slightly amusing but mostly painful). And I mean no disrespect to any Delphi database engine author, but DBISAM was king, only topped by ElevateDB which is it's successor (and very much alive and kicking to this day). So if you want a solid database engine which is embedded (meaning: compiled into your program) ElevateDB is worth every penny. At the end of the day, what Delphi had (and still has to some extent) to offer is: Pretty much the best support for popular databases out of the box (read: drivers) A wide variety of database engines written in Delphi As you probably guess, none of these options are really free. And those that are free, like FireBird, requires a lot of reading or studying of code to get working. Now please don't get me wrong, I really want to avoid any debate situation where some Firebird guy wants to protect his favorite database. The point is simply this: if you know absolutely nothing about Firebird or Interbase and you just want a quick "drop in" component which gives you database capabilities, then Firebird can be pretty daunting. It's a serious piece of software engineering which means you should know what you are doing and have the time to learn exactly that. Take myself as an example: I spent a whole day trying to connect to a FB database, only to discover way into the dark hours that there were in fact two different FB versions. Had this been explained in right at the start I could have spent m
