Database Support

Users often ask which databases IntraWeb supports. The answer is none. IntraWeb does not support any databases, but instead uses the data access components of the development language that you are using.

Unlike other web development tools, IntraWeb does not bind you to a proprietary database implementation. Other web development tools lock you into a proprietary data access system because they are closed systems. IntraWeb instead runs inside other development environments and leaves the links open.

Which database access components are used, depends on which development environment is being used. 

• With Delphi, C++ Builder and Kylix any TDataset compatible data access component can be used.
• With JBuilder, the included database classes are used and supported.
• In Java environments other than JBuilder, no data bound components are provided. However the non data bound controls can be used in conjunction with any database connectivity available to Java.
• With .net, the .net data access components will be supported.
