In version 7 and earlier, you had to create the required SQL for
every database call and grid. Now we have Business Objects that
can be set up and shared among many components.
|
|
|
|
This is a simple table BO which may be used for lists and read-
only grids, or in an editable grid or recordset.
|
|
|
|
You can also create a BO that uses any query you like, even
employing views and stored procedures. These are always read-
only.
|
|
|
|
These Business Objects can be created and maintained in a
library for use in any other Solution. This is a major potential
time saver when tables are added or modified.
|
|
|
|
In version 7, if you wanted to access another database, you had
to reference it each time it was used. In version 9 we now have
Connectors.
|
|
|
|
These may be created in a library and shared with other Solutions.
|
|
|
|
This can make it a great easier to maintain separate connections
for different environments. You could have a different set of
connectors in different versions of a Library for Development, UAT
and Production environments, for example. Ensuring the correct
version is published to each database and retrieved on
deployment would ensure the correct databases are used for that
environment.
