Hello there all,

I have the following problem. I asked many times but unfortunately i didn't 
get the suitable answer.

I am new to C++ builder 6.0
I want to build a client/server database application using c++ builder 6.0
for example i can a network based point of sales application.

To my idea i found different socket controls and the midas.

mostly how are the people are doing the client/server database application 
in c++ builder.
What is the best architure, which architecture.

Hope i explained my problem cleary.

Can anybody guide me, greatly appreciated.

What about using STORED PROCEDURES in the database on the server and light 
client applications ?

I can't say the ones that came with C++ Builder are good enough in terms of 
building a really high-end database application. A Client/Server DB App has 
its flaws. A DB App with Middleware is the minimum you should settle for as 
you can implement business rules and logic in your middletier application 
server (MIDAS). MIDAS, however, also has its limitations. You have to 
hardcode your business rules in your app. Several years ago before we wrote 
our own middletier server (XISA Server), we tried using MIDAS, but gave up 
in the end.

Take a look at our website for more information: 
http://www.xtrimsoft.com/xisa-client-server-middle-ware-tier/hack-proof-database-application.htm

There's a flash demo on how easily a Client/Server app can be hacked, and 
how a middletier app server prevents it.
