BDE Alternatives Guide Comments:

Borland now offers their own ADO support, in Delphi 5 Enterprise, and the components are suppossed to be available seperately for Delphi 5 Profession. This is clearly an option to seriously consider (since it is "in the box") once you upgrade to Delphi 5, while the products on this site remain the only way to access ADO from older versions of Delphi.
