If it your first C/S application, then I would recommend you let someone
else make the technical platform decisions.

Subject: [DUG]: DB Server choice
Hi there:
I'm designing a client/server DB app for a travel agency. The server
will be in the main house, and the clients all around the country, one on
every sale point.
There will be a web based client, programmed by someone else who defends
the idea of using MS-SQL as the server app. I like (love) Delphi and would
like to use Interbase as the server. The thing is that I need arguments to
defend such idea 'cause this will be my first client/server project and
I've never seen any documentation about Interbase before. Does it have the
posibility to have the web based client programmed in something else than
Delphi? If this is the case, I wouldn't worry any more; it would be just a
matter of programming it and inform the other programer about the stored
procedures to use to access the DB server. What softwares (compilers)
could he use?
Another question is: What protocols does Interbase use/have? Which is
the fastest one. I was thinking on hosting the web based client app
outside the country, to provide users a faster connection to it but, if
it must access a DB server located here in Cuba, then thats a slow way to
connect.
Anything you may say about it would be a well apreciated lesson to me.
You might need more info; just ask. Thanks in advance.
