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.
