Server Side Programming

Asta servers have been designed to support Asta client applications with no changes. Everything that you can do with a normal 2-tier fat client database application, ASTA servers can provide to ASTA client applications. There is much to be said in developing and deploying a generic ASTA server that can serve diverse client applications. Writing client side SQL select statements, calling stored procedures from ASTA clients, and using ASTA to generate SQL on update, insert, allow ASTA developers to quickly and easily deploy thin client 3 tier applications. However there may be times when you want to customize an ASTA server or to NOT use SQL in an ASTA client.

ASTA provides tools to allow you to easily create and maintain ASTA servers that will allow you to deploy ASTA client applications that require NO SQL using TAstaProviders, Server DataSets or the TAstaBusinessObjectManager
