Hi Neven
Yes a fat client (Delphi Win 32 app) that simply needs to send some data
to a centralised web DB (Voucher sales / redemptions) and get from a
centralised web site voucher sales / redemptions from other sites. I
don't want to do direct web based DB connection so I thought a simple
web server that processed send / get commands would be best.
A further requirement is a web page (s) that can display information
from DB i.e. Sales info.
So the visual aspect is very low. I need to get a simple proof of
concept built (just reading / writing to a flat file) and then will
extend it to a full DB application (I was going to use Firebird
Embedded, because we know that (and have access components) but if we
are using Non Delphi technologies then I suppose other DB types are up
for grabs :) ) But thats another conversation :)
Hope that makes it clearer.
