pdx7, BDE 5.2 or BDE 5.1, firebird on a freeBSD server.
Problem: BDE 5.1 or 5.2 dont come with native driver (or "SQL links") for
interbase.
Any idea how to get this SQL link without installing Delphi?

Thanks

I found BDEInfoSetup.EXE wich install BDE5.2 with all drivers
http://ibinstall.defined.net/dl_bdeinfo.htm

Or you can install Firebird ODBC driver and connect using ODBC. The BDE
is not being updated at all, so a new version of Firebird may not work
with BDE SQL Links. It will if you use latest ODBC driver.

I use ODBC drivers for Firebird and MS SQL Server and, although people
say it's slower, it's fast enough for me and my users.

I installed myOBDC but it would be difficult to ask a non expert to do that.
