DELPHI 1.0 Client/Server for Windows 3.X Quick Info Guide

Parent: D01.Delphi-1

        Delphi Client/Server is the most cost-effective way to ensure high-productivity, high-performance client/server application development.
        
        Delphi Client/Server includes
        • High-performance SQL Link native drivers for Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, and InterBase.(R) All the native drivers are licensed for royalty-free development and application deployment.
        • Team development support for source code management including check-in, check-out, and version control via industry-standard InterSolv PVCS, so it works with tools and practices already in place.
        • A Visual Query Builder to easily create complex queries efficiently without writing code.
        • Source code to more than 75 prebuilt objects in the Visual Component Library (VCL)--useful for learning techniques for creating highly robust, reusable components.
        • The ReportSmith(R) SQL version for creating "live" data reports that directly access remote server data.
        • The Local InterBase Server Deployment Kit which allows developers to freely distribute the Local InterBase Server with their applications.
