Known as the "put all your eggs in one basket" strategy :-)
With C4D you can also choose RTC, Indy, Synapse etc. And instead of IBO
there are also IBX, Zeos, SQLdirect, FIB, IB5, UIB etc.
Thank you Uffe, i never heared from IBX, Zeos, SQLDirect, FIB, IB5, UIB etc.
lol
There are many good softwarecomponents on market, and as an application
developer i decided to use this or that. I have also bought a lot of them.
Thank you all, component developers!
You are an important part of the success of Borland Delphi,
And i wish CodeGear the best to have success in future.
(And i also hope CodeGear goes back to a usable IDE like Delphi7, lol)
They have not to do clones from M$ IDEs, i work also with
Microsoft C# 2005, and .... i am so happy, if i can start
Delphi 7 again, there i am at home.
Perhaps, there comes Delphi 2008 with a IDE thats Delphi 7 near and that works
also for Linux, let me dream on ... LOL
Since Vista is on market, i hear form many customers (in Europe, not in
the USA), they give Linux now a try (OpenOffice some of them uses now as
primary office solution on Windows, and soon on Linux workstations).
Therefore i integrated now OpenOffice in my import and export solutions
with Delphi.
now ..
1) RTC
I like the conecpt of RTC and the really stable working, i have some
1000lines of code now written with RTC and i am
fully satisfied, have no reason to change.
RTCWebApplicationservers running for months as service without issues.
I also like and use the RtcPHPProvider, is easy to handle.
E.G. i let run collecting data form 5 different databases in a business
logic class i have written, and, with a weblcient i can realize online
reports that produce with rtcremotefunctions php pages as output with
flash animated charts, based on this perpared data.
You will say now: others have also this, of course, there a many
good components and i hope they grow and exists for a long time ...
2)IBO and Firebird
For do this job, i could also realize a db-pool with IBO and 5 different
firebird database servers behind. All in multithreading and service mode
and stable.
Here comes the point, what other component can handle this? Perhaps
there are more as i think, but I have not the time to test others.
Some years ago i have to change from BDE to another
thing, as i had more as 256 fields in one table, BDE crashed.
At first i used IBX, but was not really happy with it.
Therefore i changed to IBO that was the best solution with Interbase
at this time for me. And i am happy with IBO and Firebird till now. Why
shall i change it? Who pays the manmonths to change to another tool?
3)ThinDac
I have written 100.000 lines of code of classic client/server software.
Since Delphi 1.0 i am woking with Delphi.
(before: Fortran77, DecForms, DecPascal, C++, and some others like ADA)
To change such an old fat classic client/server application to a
webclient with ThinDac i could do following:
1) drop a RTCHttpClient on the form
2) drop a RtcClientModule on the form
3) drop a TdClient on the form and set all parameters
4) open delphi-form as Text with a texteditor:
- search and replace: TIBOQuery with TDQuery
5) open xxxx.pas with texteditor: search and replace TIBOQuery with TDQuery
6) save all, open project and compile
READY, now the classic client/server client is a webclient.
Of course not optimizid, the conecpt for a webclient is another one
as a fat classic client/server application.
But it works as a first step much more better using on 2 mbit networks.
I could write here long stories, also my experience with Indy,
(I have to realized a FTPS Client with Indy, what a nightmare, have to
change Indy code, and loosed nearly my last hair)
But i think nobody will read such stories. LOL
