I am currently running the local version of Caché on my system in order

  • 0

I am currently running the local version of Caché on my system in order to determine if I can (and will) take on a new possible project.

The current project uses Delphi 7 as a front end calling a Caché dll where the business logic is stored in the database.

I have a background of Sqlserver and Firebird (and before Access and Paradox) as databases.

I use Delphi 7 for 95% of my Windows development, so I know about object programming.

I would like to recieve opinions from persons having used Caché and either SqlServer, Firebird or Oracle and having developed in Delphi (or C++ or C# – an object oriented language).

I have read the pro’s and con’s from other questions, but I am not asking for this, I need input from Caché developers.

Thanks in advance.

    I am curious about this object database. I don’t see any reference to Delphi users with this database on their web site. They do mention they have a COM interface, which might be easier than a Raw C style API (if they also have that) because at least string buffer allocation/management and your wrapper code will hopefully be simpler.

    However, you will have no way of connecting to data aware controls, so I would plan on doing a lot of “roll your own” work. My intuitive opinion is that you might be the only guy on the planet using Delphi with this database. Delphi is a small fish in the development tools world though, so that might just more be a fact about Delphi more than a fact about Cache, which is a horribly NON-Googlable technology name, by the way.
