Discover the fundamental concepts of object-relational mapping (ORM) design Aurelius' basic
features and the practical applications of those features. In a series of tasks you will be
exposed to techniques and best practices that make the use of Aurelius easy and efficient.
Furthermore you'll refine your analytical skills to sharpen your understanding of Delphi
(Pascal) helping you write better code along the way. Introducing Delphi ORM explains that
while database design is difficult database programming (i.e. manipulating extracting
filtering and manipulating data) is even more difficult. ORM frameworks provide a simpler way
for you to access and manage data in databases. You'll see how they offer different levels of
abstraction and tools to code data access in a database-agnostic way by introducing a layer
between the application and the data access language (SQL LINQ and so on). By the end of the
book you will be confident in using a wide range of Aurelius features to allow you to get
started with databases in a very short space of time. What You Will Learn Gain the fundamentals
of ORM frameworks and Aurelius for Delphi Achieve basic tasks such as connecting to the
database and adding deleting and updating records using Aurelius Employ advanced database
queries Use the TAureliusDataSet component Integrate with mobile platforms such as Android and
iOS Work with the data modeler application Who This Book Is For Software developers starting
with Aurelius or those who have some exposure to the framework.
