You could search the archives of this forum. Also, in the files
section you can find Helen's demo RemoteData.zip.

I use IBO with DataSnap, typically:
TIBOQuery for SELECTs, and
TIB_DSQL for updates (via the BeforeUpdateRecord eventhandler).
But as the demo shows TIBOQuery is sufficient also.

TClientDataSet is not designed for large (> 100k records) datasets. In
that case I use TkbmMemTable of Kim Madsen, which also can be used
with IBO.
