Re: New open source model driven framework for Delphi Win32

Marius,

Thanks for previewing the G Framework.

Although we used Indy 9 to build our test web server (before Indy 10 was
available), we expect that you will actually run your G applications using
IIS or Apache. However, there's nothing preventing you from making the test
web server use Indy 10... the source code is included. Let us know if you do
this, because we'd love to include it in the project.

We used Delphi 2006 to build the G Framework, and although we used some
newer (than Delphi 7) language features, they certainly weren't essential.
The features we used were "For In", the "Strict" keyword, and "Class Var."
Here's your opportunity to help this open source project... the source code
is included, and we will help you in any way we can.

Yes, you can use the G Framework with existing databases. If your table and
column names match your class and property names, there's nothing special
you need to do. If not, you can put the Relational / Object Mappings into
the Class Information file. As this is not documented, let us know if you
need help doing it. Also, Michael Justin has created hbm2delphi for the G
Framework here http://cc.codegear.com/Item/24693 . It takes an existing
database structure and creates G Framework source code from it. The
framework currently has a single persistence manager for Firebird
(Interbase). You may look at the gFirebirdPersistenceManager unit as a
template for creating a persistence manage for another database. Let us know
if you do this (or need help doing this), because we'd like to include
support for as many persistence formats as we can.

Thanks again for your feedback,

Goog

That does look good..

Some questions here though:

-Indy10 (we switched long ago)
-Delphi7 (we will not ever buy 8/2005/2006, thinking about 2008 though)
-Support for old existing/running DB's (this is actually the main point)

Greetings,
Marius
