Using ADORDD with Harbour/xHarbour

Using Delphi 5 and subsequently Delphi 7, I have been using ADO to connect to databases such as MS/SQL and MySql without much issues. So in my exploration of Harbour, I note with interest that one can connect to various databases via ADORdd

Apparently Antonio Linares announce the availability of AdoRDD on 26 April 2007 and since then there have been 169 follow-up posts. There has also been some discussions on AdoRDD in the Harbour Main Developers List as well

This is what Antonio Linares posted quoted verbatim


New AdoRDD (free)

FiveTech Software and noway www.noway.com are proud to announce the availability of an early release of the ADORDD for Harbour and xHarbour. This RDD is planned to be included in the Harbour CVS so we welcome all ADO users to start testing it and colaborating in its development.

Actually this code is already working:

REQUEST ADORDD

FUNCTION Main()

USE test.mdb VIA "ADORDD"

BROWSE()

USE

RETURN nil

It has already been tested with Access and MySQL, but it should work with any DataBase engine that supports ADO.

  1. Hi CCH,

    Thanks a lot :)

    I used ADORDD both with HMG and HMG Extended. And heard some compatiblity issue also in HMG Forum.

    What it the difference between existing ADORDD and ADORDD created by Fivetech and Noway.

    BTW, I tried to go to noway web site. But, found problem.

    With best regards.
