Let me chip in...

I have a few multi tier applications around with IBO connection to the
Firebird at the server side. I'm using TDatasetProvider to communicate
with clients.

How can I not use TIBO*s with this? If there's a way, I'd certainly
like to try it, because the figures from this benchmark are impressive!

In case someone might be tempted to say: I'm quite familliar with
DataAbstract from RemObjects which allows me to write my own driver
for this stuff so I can avoid TDatasetProvider & DataSnap altogether,
but rewriting every application is really not an option at this point.

How does one approach this kind of problem?

Kind regards,
