Borland Delphi Based Development-

I am plannig to have zilion cups of coffee and Jazz of Ahmed Jamal( Awakening - Piano trio) over Delphi Version 8.0- Professional

If you plan to consume gallons of cofee and Jazz Music at the same time with Delphi-8- Professional, post your thoughts here.

1.0 Installation Problem of MS-SQL 2000 server.
For no Apraant Reason MS-SQl- 2000 This Morning started complaning that it has pending Operation on some files, and refused to install. In Frustration, I tried looking for all the readme files for answer. I even spent News Groups of Delphi for help. I posted in some of them.

However After 4 hours of frustration , I searched the Webferret for clue, ( Some ghood cup of Tea/cofee helped along with Cool FM Jazz) I found some tid bits of answer.

I have to edit the registry and It is done as follows. HOW am I supposed to Know that.
I tried even the Knoledge base of the Microsoft. May be I did not do the due dilligence on my part( What ever that supposed to mean). That piece of i got from the net. However , It DID solve my problem.

Next the service Pack Installation goes ok I think.


Here is the secret :

SQL Server issues this error message when Setup detects that some files need updating and that the registry has operations pending to update those files on the next reboot. You can see this scenario in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\pendingfilerenameoperations. One way to eliminate this error message is to delete the registry's pending file rename or delete keys. Note that deleting either of these keys might prevent a necessary file update from occurring, perhaps causing an incomplete operation. Renaming the keys might be safer; then, you can restore the names after your SQL Server installation is complete.

Book Review:

I have started going thourh the Book, Delphi for .Net Developer's Guide by Pacheco- Smas Publishing ( You should be able to get in from Amazon/local store). It has very nice introduction about what the .net is about in very systemetic fashion. I like it. I am yet to see this kind of explanation in the VB.NET text book that I am reading Mostly from Wrox Press.

Gee...now I feel so far behind. I just got my copy of Delphi 6 Personal. I am brand new to programming, in general, and I plan on trying to teach myself. I don't plan on spending any money on this till I know for sure that this is the right language for me.

As far as jazz goes, that name looks familiar. I am supposed to be building a site for my father, dedicated to avant garde jazz. I think he's on that list of over 700 names my father gave me.

The site is located here: www.outtolunch.tkIt's not much to look at, yet, but when it's finished it will be like nothing you have ever seen in your life. The site that is there now was just something I quickly threw together just to have something functional till the real site is finished.

If you can help out my father in his research on any of the musicians on the list, he'd really appreciate it. This project is his attempt to keep his favorite music alive and to promote it to people that may not have heard all the musicians on the list. We are looking for anything we can post to help promote the artists on the list. Links to biographies, discographies, news, their personal websites, where you can buy albums, etc...anything at all. It is very hard for me to build a site without any content, and all he has given me is a list of names. I know nothing about any of them and the research was not something I had planned on doing. I was originally just supposed to code the pages.

If you can help, thanks. There is a form mailer for submitting info to me. If you know any other jazz fans that could help, give them the link to the site.

I just Received the Delphi 8.0 professional the Other Day. I am junnt now workign on the installation Procedure.

I understand I get 7 distint systems Delphi 7.0/8.0 and MS SQL server/Borland Interbase/ and IBM DB2

It is not very Clear to me what is the Order of Installtion best for me. Currently I am trying to Install Sql 2000 server and the system tells me that I have to restart my coumputer since something else requires to reboot. More on this later.


Also I bought 2 books; they are expensive but they have god number of starts on amazzon and our local Bookstore copperfiels.com has them in stock. The total cost of two books was 165 CDN , expensive.

However the 1st book is Mastering Delphi Bible 7.0 and seems to be Preety Good about geting started. I do have extensive background in Delphi 6. More on this later
