Re: In-memory dataset

ClientDataset is great, in general.
But brings some problems too.
It's a shared DLL that needs to be registered (I mean interface classes, not
royalties), meaning that when new version of DLL comes, all applications are
automatically upgraded, which can be very bad. You can't have your
(application) local version DLL. For example, the D7 version of midas
introduced an ugly bug with handling of blobs, so when someone installed a
Delphi7 application, it automatically broke our D5 application. So, if you
use MIDAS, you're under constant risk.
