Hi
all.
We have a situation
here where we have an NT service and a normal DB Application that both use
Interbase.
The problem we have
is that the NT Service chews up an IB lic. when it is in use...i.e. all the
time.
this then means we
would have to get an extra client lic. which is not really all that great for
the client, since its not really their problem, and we dont want to carry the
cost of an IB LIC every time we sell our product.
SO, the solution as
I see it is this, that we develop an app. that acts as a
data-broker.
This would obviously
cause SOME issues for us, but would solve the problem as I see
it.
The question I am
wanting an answer to is, we dont have Midas which would be the way to go I
think, SO I have been thinking along the lines of using a DCOM server to do the
data-brokerage for the NT service and the DB application.
This would be fine
for the NT service, but it causes a number of issues for the DB Application,
i.e. we use tables and querys etc.
Would we best to buy
Midas.....or rather we need to get another delphi anyway so we sould look at
getting the version of delphi that has Midas.
Can anyone comment
on the above ?
Am I going down the
wrong path ?
Will midas help us
with the problem of needing to use tables datasets and storedproc componetns
etc. ??
