Hi,

I am using C++ Builder 5.0 as a C++ dev environment. I normally use the standard database components TSession, TDatabase etc. This unfortunately uses the borland database engine (BDE) and seems to requite ODBC. I would rather not use ODBC and not have to install the BDE on every computer requiring the applications I make. I have heard that ADO components are supposed to be better.

My Questions:

Is it true that if I use ADO components I do not need the BDE?
Is it true that I dont need to use ODBC when using ADO?
How do I get the ADO database components for C++ Builder?

The best to all!
André
