Client: web browser
While there are some situations that warrant writing custom web browsers in Delphi,
you can generally assume that the client-side software will be provided by Netscape or Microsoft.
Middleware: Web Server plus Delphi application
On the Windows NT platform, there are a variety of choices for the middleware. Web servers are
available from Microsoft, Netscape, Purveyor, O’Reilly & Associates, and others. Delphi applications can
be written from scratch or with components provided by third parties.
Back end: SQL database
Because Delphi Client/Server connects to such a wide range of databases, the SQL database choice is wide
open and certainly includes the major players: Oracle, Informix, Sybase, DB2, SQL Server.
