New to client/server |

"John Taylor" | Hi all,
I'm about to take the plunge from DBIsam 3.3 to Client Server 4.x. I would like to avoid as much head banging as possible when I begin development. So I was wondering if there is some type of tutorial, white paper, or 'how to' document available that I could read in advance to help get my mind around client server before pinning my ears back and just diving in. I have DBIsam 4.27 cs already along with the Help file, which while good seems to be pretty much reference material. Can someone point me in the right direction to help me avoid undue stress ? Or... am I making too much of this ? Thanks. JT |

This FAQ covers the basic things to look for with C/S performance (and performance in general): http://www.elevatesoft.com/dbisam_faqt_1.htm while this part of the manual will cover what's changed between 3.x and 4.x: http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=mantopic&id=dbisam4&product=d&version=7&category=0&topic=1 Apart from this, the only thing you need to do is modify your TDBISAMSession's so that they are using remote access instead of local access, which is covered here: http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=mantopic&id=dbisam4&product=d&version=7&category=1&topic=9 If you have any specific questions, just ask and I'll be happy to help you out further. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"John Taylor" | Thanks Tim,
I already have a good handle on version 4, have migrated the data, just a matter of converting to c/s environment using the remote features, etc. I'll do the required reading so as to avoid nagging anyone with questions about the obvious. Thanks again.

The FAQ covers the main aspects (lookups and looping thru datasets). A few minor modifications usually take fare of these. Once you get those done, it is pretty cool. I can switch from c/s to shared files by just changing an option in the ini file. same identical code for both. In fact you can run some programs c/s and some f/s at the same time, accessing the same database. One thing to keep in mind is that in c/s all paths are relative to the server, so that needs some thought if you use subfolders. Nothing that can't be easily resolved. Just dive in. If you know for sure you will always be running c/s, you can move some intensive processes to the server. Robert |

That is the "DBIsam Server Admistration Utility" known as srvadmin.exe combine that with dbsys.exe and you have the best C/S for Delphi guys ever. Rita |
