[DUG] BERLIN and DB connectivity

[David Moorhouse]

Hi Tony

If you have an investment in legacy code for Windows apps, you could 
look at using Delphi to provide the business logic and something like 
TurboCocoa to bridge to the native Android/iOS/MacOS user interface.


We have successfully ported across a Delphi 4 Win app to run natively 
under Mac OS X, achieving about 80% code reuse.

I can't really comment on the DB connections, apart from saying that 
FireDac seems to be the way Embo is running.

Cheers

David
