Introduction

InstantObjects Primer is an example application that was built using the InstantObjects Object Persistence Framework. It demonstrates how InstantObjects enables you to build truly object oriented database applications in Delphi using the same RAD approach you use, when building traditional database applications.
 

Contactbook

InstantObjects Primer features a contactbook in which contacts can be registered and maintained. The main screen of the contactbook is available via the Contacts icon on the navigation bar to the left. The following topics in this section describe the business model and user interface of the contactbook.
 

Query Tester

With the query tester available via the Query icon on the navigation bar, you can try out the query engine of InstantObjects. The query tester allows you to write and execute your own queries or choose from a list of example queries.
 

Performance Tester

InstantObjects can use various types of databases as the storage for your persistent objects. In fact, multiple database connections of different types can be used simultaneously by the same application. With the performance tester available via the Performance icon on the navigation bar, you can compare the performance of the database types of interest.
