Summary
Data Abstract ‘Vinci’ for .NET and Delphi by RemObjects Software
Build scalable multi-tier database solutions. Data Abstract 'Vinci' for .NET and Delphi is a suite or RAD tools for writing multi-tier solutions in .NET, Delphi and Mono. Data Abstract 'Vinci' for .NET and Delphi is a suite including RemObjects Data Abstract for .NET and Delphi Editions. RemObjects Data Abstract allows you to create services that access any database, by providing a clear separation between data-access and business-logic. RemObjects Data Abstract will enable your applications to interface with different database systems, even simultaneously, instead of depending from any single one. RemObjects Data Abstract supports a wide range of database back-ends, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Interbase/Firebird, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and many more.
Data Abstract 'Vinci' for .NET and Delphi is a suite including RemObjects Data Abstract for .NET and Delphi Editions:
Data Abstract allows you to create services that access any database by providing a clear separation between data-access and business-logic. Through the use of schemas and the Schema Modeler utility, it enables you to maintain a unique code base to access multiple database engines at the same time. Cross database systems are now as simple to build as single database ones.
.NET Specific Features
The unique RemoteDataAdapter allows you to stream and update multiple data tables at once, avoiding redundant network round-trips
Extendable Data Abstract Remote Service provides you with all the basics to access your databases and start coding your business layer immediately
Unique and simpler driver architecture controlled by XML configuration files
Exchange data in an optimized binary format with clients written in .NET, Mono, Delphi or Kylix and running on a large variety of platforms
Core Features
Build scalable multi-tier cross platform database applications for .NET, Mono and Win32
Target different database back-ends using a common code base
Use Schema Modeler to design the interface of your data
Leverage the new wizards and IDE enhancements to build DA applications even easier than with previous versions
Support for a wide range of database back-ends, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Interbase/Firebird, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, NexusDB and many more
Features
Complete abstraction of different databases: use the same code for Microsoft SQL Server, InterBase, Oracle, MySQL, DBISAM, DB/2, etc.
Build your applications with a "stateless" focus for maximum scalability and seamless cluster integration
Stream data all at once, on demand, paged or any combination of those
Re-synch fields automatically with the remote data source
Use update rules to design complex update sequences without a single line of code
Enhanced Business Processors give you more control on your business updates
Cross-database autoincrement and generator-based field support
Work with either auto-generated SQL or proprietary dialects, whenever higher performance or access to RDBMS specific features is required
Full support for stateless Master/Detail transactional updates
Update Rules: create complex update sequences without a single line of code
Design your data-access layer in an innovative RAD way using the Schema Modeler
Minimize SQL dialect differences using Data Abstract's macro processor
Easily create your own data access driver to extend the list that comes with the product
Support for regular expressions for client-side data-validation
No deployment license costs
Data Abstract Schema Modeler
Data Abstract's use of Schemas enables you to maintain a unique code base to access multiple database engines at the same time, making it easy to build cross database systems.
Schemas shield both the middle-tier business logic and the client applications from the intricacies of the back-end database by defining the proper commands and data tables and mapping these to the physical data sources.
Data Abstract includes the Schema Modeler utility, which is deeply integrated with the supported IDEs, to aid you in designing and maintaining Schema definitions. Schema Modeler includes tools for creating data tables and commands from the underlying database, designing the mappings for individual data sources and defining master/detail and foreign key relationships.
