Morfik web framework |
Sun, May 30 2010 12:22 PM | Permanent Link |
AdamBrett Fullwell Mill | I brought this up a while back, but things have moved on a bit so I thought I would raise it again for comments.
Morfik is a web development framework which I have started using. It is still young, but is nice & very data-centric. It is built in Delphi & is Pascale-based. It uses Firebird as a default data back-end. ODBC access is easy, BUT is only useful for reading data ... you can't use Morfik's live data forms to write data via ODBC. Morfik 3 "greatly enhances" data access "creating data access components for MySQL, M$SQLServer etc." (double quotes as Morfik 3 hasn't yet actually been released, so I am going on the content of a blog: (http://blog.morfik.com/2010/05/25/morfik-3-update-native-database-connectivity/). I would really love to be able to access my many, many DBISAM & EDB databases via Morfik. I have bought the ODBC driver, but will now have to write a data access layer ... which I don't really want to do ( Any chance of you guys doing it?? I think it might open up a bit of a new market for you. Adam |

When I last checked on this, it was a complete no-go, so it will be nice if we can hook it up finally. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

AdamBrett Fullwell Mill | I will do Tim,
Honestly I think their existing data-framework is a bit flaky, I have been trying to work with it (using Firebird as the back end) & there have been a number of inconsistencies & problems. Their built in mechanisms (in the current version) are good for building web-sites based on quite straightforward schemas using database tables. If your model is more complex & relational & if you use BLOB fields it seems to start to become unworkable. A decent, reliable "package" from you which allowed developers to instantiate connections to more complex backend schemas with simple commands to do things like run stored procedures, functions, triggers etc., etc. would make more complex sites far easier to implement. |

AdamBrett Fullwell Mill | >>Please email when this becomes available.
Just to let you know Tim Morfik 3 is now in beta, with a new data-layer which supports easier methods for connecting to "other" datasources (MySQL is the example). There is detail about it here: http://wiki.morfik.com/wiki3/Native_Database_Connectivity_using_Zeos_Package http://wiki.morfik.com/wiki3/Abstract_Data_Sources http://blog.morfik.com/2010/06/08/morfik-3-0-beta-release/ ... note the use of the "Zeos Package" sorry to be a know-nothing, but I am guessing that if you could interface DBISAM / EDB with this it would then be fairly easy to open a DBISAM / Elevate table from Morfik. I hope this is useful & would love to here some independent opinions of this product, as it is something I am still thinking about using as a serious development platform & some other opinions would be great.
