- I am not a Delphi developer myself, I develop in C++, but ...
- i know about a large installation, where Sybase on a Novell server is used as DBMS backend
- (server), Access 7 is used as DBMS frontend (client) and Delphi programs is written for
- specialized tasks. The Delphi programs use a lot of Sybase stored procedures in order to
- lower network traffic and increase performance.
- So choosing Delphi does not automatically rule out Access!

- No, C++ has a steep learning curve compared with Pascal (Delphi), and much slower compilation
- speed. So the design-code-test cyclus is much shorter with Delphi.

- >Is Delphi True OO, as is C++?
-
- Sure. The major difference is, that there is no implicit constructor/destructor calls in
- Delphi. When objects is created, a Init-procedure must be called. Before objects are deleted,
- a Close/Destruct-procedure must be called, if the objects allocate other objects dynamically.
