get the suitable answer.

I am new to C++ builder 6.0
I want to build a client/server database application using c++ builder 6.0

To my idea i found different socket controls and the midas.

mostly how are the people are doing the client/server database application
in c++ builder.
What is the best architure, which architecture.

Hope i explained my problem cleary.

I can't say the ones that came with C++ Builder are good enough in terms of
building a really high-end database application. A Client/Server DB App has
its flaws. A DB App with Middleware is the minimum you should settle for as
you can implement business rules and logic in your middletier application
server (MIDAS). MIDAS, however, also has its limitations. You have to
hardcode your business rules in your app. Several years ago before we wrote
our own middletier server (XISA Server), we tried using MIDAS, but gave up
in the end.

Take a look at our website for more information:
http://www.xtrimsoft.com/xisa-client-server-middle-ware-tier/hack-proof-database-application.htm

There's a flash demo on how easily a Client/Server app can be hacked, and
how a middletier app server prevents it.

What about using STORED PROCEDURES in the database on the server and light
client applications ?
