Moving from DataAbstract 7 to 8

Data Abstract
1

I’ve started the conversion process from DA7 to DA8.

I’ve noticed that a lot of stuff has been moved around into more specific units which is good. However, it seems that some interface properties have disappeared completely. For example, where is IDADataset.SQL? Without it, how do I set/read the SQL text? I don’t see any obvious way to do this in DA8.

RO, please consider releasing a version of DA7 that supports XE6.

Hello,
You wrote:

For example, where is IDADataset.SQL?

SQL property was moved to IDAServerDataset. on server side you can get access to SQL property as:

// Dataset : IDADataset
(Dataset as IDAServerDataset).SQL := 'Select * from table';

server-side uses IDADataset in events and methods for backward compatibility with DA7

please consider releasing a version of DA7 that supports XE6.

XE6 is only supported by DA8
