Once the AS/400 side of Easycom For Delphi is installed on the AS/400, nothing else needs to be done on the AS/400.
No programs need to be compiled on the AS/400, no host programs need to be written, and resource usage is minimal.
Easycom For Delphi uses the database description from the AS/400, in real time.
There is no duplicate copy kept on the client station. Data type conversions are done automatically, and access can be in either navigational mode or through SQL.
Delphi developers access data through the standard VCL (Visual Component Library) components.
Applications can simultaneously use data on AS/400 system(s), local files and on other servers.
For example, you could easily create an application using personnel data from the AS/400, sales orders from a Microsoft SQL Server, and commission rates from an Oracle database.
