Author Description

What makes a database Enterprise quality? There are no hard rules, but one can assert the following are usually true - Scalable performance o Support 100 to 100,000 concurrent users- n-Tier database capable- caching used for performance improvements- multiplatform through SOA- web accessible interface- inherent security o externalized authentication (LDAP, RADIUS, Kerberos, OAuth2, etc.) o authorization enforced based on principles of least privilege o auditing o prepared statements In this book we introduce mORMot, a Pascal based database ecosystem including support for all popular databases (Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, MS-SQL, PostgreSQL, DB/2, and others). mORMot databases are instantly network-ready. Using Delphi or FreePascal you can compile clients for almost any operating system (Windows, OS/X, iOS, Android, X-Windows) which can converse with Windows or Linux server. And when we add Elevate Web Builder (EWB), you can create rich, engaging Web based database applications that run on any Web client and interface with mORMot's standards based Service Oriented Archecture (SOA) technologies. Unique to this environment, mORMot and EWB present fast and reliable end-to-end Pascal solutions. Fully enterprise-ready, you can configure your applications to use Active Directory or OAuth2 for user authentication. In addition to describing essential mORMot and Elevate Web Builder, this book introduces an interface library that bridges the two technologies. Call a Pascal function in the EWB code, and the corresponding function is automatically called on the server, passing all parameters with ease. This large book covers all you need to know to get started, and works through more than 30 example programs. This is Erick Engelke's fifth book, following his popular Using Elevate Web Builder book and other books on web, network and systems programming.
