FireDAC with Web Core

Nicholas_Hugh · February 19, 2019, 7:08am

I have just started investigating TMS Web.

I have been trying to use a FireDAC component in a TMS Web project but the project fails to compile complaining that it cannot find FireDAC.Stan.Intf, FireDAC.Stan.Option, etc...

I can confirm that we can connect to an Interbase database with FireDAC in a regular VCL project

what should I do.

Thanks

There is a different approach for web applications. They usually do not talk to databases directly as VCL applications do. Web apps manage that via server-interfaces - often REST-APIs, SOAP,...

Maybe a look at TMS xData could give you an overview how to deal with this challenge !
