Hello
In a server app, I'd like to fire off a TIB_Cursor to retrieve data,
compress it and then send it to client apps. What's the easiest way
of doing this? I could read it into objects on the server and get
them to serialise it into a stream before transmission to the client,
but I wondered if there was an 'IBO' way of doing this. The dataset
does not need to be editable, that's handled by an alternative method.
I see someone else has mentioned TDatasetProvider, which I have no
experience of. Is that the best way?
Many thanks.
