Can a Delphi 2005 application connect to Oracle using BDE ?
I read that SQL Link is not provided anymore.
Will it help if I install BDE 5.2/5.1 from an early version ?
Thanks in advance

What you read is correct. The BDE SQL Links drivers have been

deprecated.

Hi
If this is the case would it be better to use ADO for future projects
not linked to specific databases? WHat would be the safest option for a
future design.

Re:Delphi2005 BDE

What do you mean by "projects not linked to specific databases"? Do you
mean a project that must be able to use different database such as Oracle,
SQL Server, DB2, etc? If so and if you are referring to the Win32
environment then ADO is a good choice.
