Hi all,

Simple question: do I need to upgrade all my Windev 22 applications to version 23 before updating the HFSQL server to version 23 ?
I am running an environment with quite a few Windev 22 applications and therefore I would prefer updating the HFSQL server first and only then start upgrading the Windev applications one by one as soon as I have time available for doing so.

Thanks
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

you can upgrade the HFSQL server first without any problem... the
contrary is not true as HF applications in 23 may use stuff not suported
by HF 22... so in a mixed environment, you NEED to upgrade HFSQL server
first.

Best regards

An additional question just popped into my mind: will I have to upgrade the ODBC drivers used by the version 22 applications to enable them to connect to the upgraded 23 version of HFSQL ?

Hi again

a windev application should not use ODBC to connect to HFSQL, as HFSQL
is natively supported...

Now, if you are providing the ODBC drivers so that EXTERNAL applications
(office by example) can directly access your DB, then YES, the ODBC
driver should be at the same version than the server.

However, if you are currently accessing HF from windev through ODBC, you
have a problem...

best regards

Some of my applications use both HFSQL (which is of course natively supported because it is PC soft propriatary) and also ODBC to communicate with another type database besides HFSQL.
I just wondered if these drivers might somehow still be dependent on the HFSQL version because I seem to remember a similar issue an ex colleague of mine had switching from 21 to 22.

Hi Stefan,

So these drivers are NOT HFSQL drivers, they are ODBC drivers for OTHER
TYPES OF DB and have NOTHING to do with the HFSQL server version. So no,
no upgrade.

Best regards
