SQL Monitoring

Three quick questions :
1. I was just wondering if SQL monitoring could be included in TOCIDatabase by default, like it is with Borland's data access components. Rather than needing to add TNCSQLMonitorClient. Its just that if you have released an EXE without TNCSQLMonitorClient and you need to trace why something isn't working, you can't.

2. Have you any plans to extend the help file with more descriptions and some examples. This would be very useful.

3. Do you have any future plans to write a utility which changes existing Delphi projects which use TQuery, TUpdateSQL etc. into using NCOCI8 equivalents? This would encourage more users to convert from the BDE to direct Oracle access through the OCI.

Keep up the superb Open Source work, what you are doing is excellent for the Oracle and Delphi community and highly commendable. You must feel very proud, many thanks.

Hi Paul !

1. Good point. Why not ?! Moreover, my one of the first goals are to make NCOCI8 maximum compatible with BDE.

2. I will be honest ... I have such plans, but really - no time. I have only time to extend NCOCI8 But sometimes i am extending help also. If you have any specific question, i will be happy to answer on it. As allways - send it to forum or directly to me.

3. ) Right now writing it. But really, NCOCI8 is very high compatible with BDE access components. Only exceptions here are:
- no TOCITable, TOCIBatchMove (last will be in next version - very cool !);
- TOCIDatabase is only compatible bt methods, and some properties;
- no TOCISession.
But most BDE applciations have one TOCIDatabase and probably no of TOCISession. TOCITable will ready in near feature. I just complete comercial project. As part of it, i extend TIBTable to ranges and SetKey, GoToKey, etc. So i have experience
So answer here is - yes we will have expert. But you can convert manually allready complex applications (if they are without TTable) - replacement of TDatabase, TSession is work of 1/2 hour. TQuery is your single work - replace word TQuery to TOCIQuery.

Thanks ! It is only my hobby ...
