dbOvernet runs on all Delphi versions from 3 forward. Although we haven't tried it yet, the Standard edition ($99) can likely be used to develop client-side applications.

The Professional edition is required to develop server-side applications.

However, dbOvernet does not require the more expensive Client/Server Suite edition.

Database connections

Since dbOvernet is a multi-tier product with an open connectivity framework through our unique ServerObject class, database connectivity is not an issue.

Basically, any database that you can connect to and access data from is accessible to dbOvernet.

We provide templates and client-side applications to connect to databases using:

• The Inprise BDE, for either ODBC or direct drivers,
• ODBCExpress, to connect using that product's high-speed ODBC connectors,
• IB Objects, an alternative connector for Interbase databases.
• Many others - write us for more information

Through the open architecture using our ServerObject class and existing server-side templates, (and often in just a few minutes), you can quickly develop connections to any datasource, whether it's SQL-based or not. You can access data warehouses, graphics and image data sources, document data storage, sequential filing systems, voice storage, anything.

The basic rule is: if you have a way to get at information using Delphi or any third-party tools, you can, in all likelihood, access and deliver it through dbOvernet.
