A New DataSnap in Tiburon

Among the many CodeGear blogs about Tiburon, one of the most interesting new areas seems to be the new DataSnap (or dbExpress remoting) architecture.

Among the many CodeGear blogs about Tiburon, one of the most interesting new areas seems to be the new DataSnap (or dbExpress remoting) architecture. DataSnap used to be called MIDAS in the early days...

Steve Shaughnessy blogged about it in Tiburon DataSnap enhancements and Andreano Lanusse covered it as well in Tiburon - more about DataSnap.

Very, very interesting stuff. This new remoting architecture will not be tied to COM any more (like MIDAS / DataSnap was, even if only internally). I also like the fact is is way more open (in terms of platforms and languages on the client side). And the flexibility seems much greater...

A New DataSnap in Tiburon  

IF the final version will be alike the little shown 
till now, it's a dreadful architecture. One gets 
database-like invocation of remote methods - many 
lines of code to invoke a single method, no type 
checking, no early binding, no code/parameters 
completion and the like.
Moreover MIDAS was database access agnostic, while 
the new one is strongly tied to dbExpress - a 
technology that was so buggy and scanty in the past 
that I had to use other data access components better 
aligned with database releases - and I am not going 
back.
