Extended Systems has shipped its Advantage Database Server TDataSet Descendant client for Kylix (Delphi for Linux). Kylix support lets Delphi developers port existing Advantage TDataSet Descendant applications to the Linux operating system without rewriting any of their database access code. The new Advantage Kylix components will provide database access without the use of Borland's dbExpress, just as the Advantage Windows components currently provide database access without the use of the Borland Database Engine (BDE).
