<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">
<DIV>My most recent serious DB work was using standard IB components to open two
embedded Firebird databases and ADO to use MSSQL DB, and using TCLientDataSets
to merge data from all of them. There has always been a
reasonable number of good options of what component sets to use – even the old
BDE works great, the only real disadvantage is having to install and configure a
separate product. I expect that the FireDac is very capable – for
instance I have read (but not tried) that later versions allow one to do SQL
joins on different ClientDataSets which would have been most useful in my
previous project.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as n tiered, I have had dealings with a current substantial Delphi
product that is 3 tiered but I am not sure if Datasnap is the technology used,
there is a good chance – I understand they have parallel code bases using Delphi
for Windows and Free Pascal for Mac, and can point at either Firebird or MSSQL
on Windows (Firebird on Mac). In other limited experience with Datasnap it
worked as expected.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Android and iOS, haven’t done more than toy projects yet myself, but so far
looks like it should scale.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Note about web browsers, on iOS and Mac TWebBrowser drives Safari, and on
Android it drives Chrome. Means that it has a fairly sparse set of events
as its a lowest common denominator, but it certainly works and is the native
browser – I knocked up a program for various OS’s with an Embedded web browser
in a few minutes, runs nicely on the Nexus and Windows.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>I have seen what David did with driving the
native Safari browser using the code from the Windows VCL, bypassed Firemonkey
altogether to get to the full native Safari. Works very well,
hardest part is getting to grips with Xcode and Cocoa world of delegates and
pointers to everything, but certainly Delphi Berlin joined the Windows IDE and
XCode together very thoroughly.</FONT></DIV>
