deprecation of the Jet engine
-
Hi, I just read in MSDN Library at the MS site that MS have deprecated the Jet engine: (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/oledb/htm/mdac\_deprecated\_components.asp): "Jet and Replication Objects (JRO) The Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider and other related components were removed from MDAC 2.6. Microsoft has deprecated the Microsoft Jet Engine, and plans no new releases or service packs for this component. As a result, the Jet and Replication Objects (JRO) is being deprecated in this release and will not be available in any future MDAC releases." This is the only place on the MS site where I can find any mentioning of MS dropping the Jet Engine. As I'm currently developing an application based on Jet I'd really like to hear if anybody has any information? If Jet is dropped I guess I'll have to go for another (free) engine. There is of course MSDE, but is it the 2000-version free as the 1.0 version was? (Provided you have VC++6.0 Enterprise)? Another possibility could be MySQL which has an OLEDB provider, does anybody have any experiences with the db or the provider? thanks in advance Steen. Cheers Steen.
