Mediator components for Delphi
There are three Mediator visual components for Delphi:
TMedConnection - the connection component which is similar to BDE TDatabase component.
This component is responsible for establishing and maintaining connection to Mediator server. It is also used for interacting with xHarbour kernel. For more information about xHarbour see xHarbour
TMedTable - component similar to BDE TTable - use it for interacting with Mediator-managed tables and DBF tables managed by xHarbour kernel.
TMedQuery - component similar to BDE TQuery - use it when you wish to directly access underlying SQL database by using SQL command or query.
Mediator components for Delphi are based upon xHarbour kernel. Apart from the above VCL components there are several low level classes which are used to access xHarbour kernel. Using xHarbour kernel as a foundation for Mediator components enables nearly 100% compatibility between DBF-based applications and Mediator-based applications. See Low level interface for more information.
Use this components to write Delphi SQL application in exactly the same way as you do it for dBase, Paradox or FoxPro data.
