Developer TMS Software released their amazing framework code-named Aurelius, an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) now available for FireMonkey and Delphi 10 Berlin. This powerful framework lets you easily integrate database in your applications. It supports several database servers (MS SQL Server, Firebird, MySQL, DB2, Interbase, Oracle and many other) and several database-access components (dbExpress, AnyDac, SQLDirect, ADO, IBX and many others). You are no longer required to test your complex SQL statements at run-time, since we are now dealing with entity objects in an object-oriented way. When writing queries, Aurelius provides a robust query API using criteria expressions, projections, grouping, conditions and even logical operators in a LINQ-like approach. You also benefit from the OOP concepts and you can make use of inheritance mapping and polymorphism – map a full class hierarchy into the database. At the core of the framework lies TaureliusDataSet, which can be easily integrated with the existing DB-aware controls in VCL, thus making this framework independent of the database engine and components you use as a developer, and you can write the same code to manage multiple databases in a transparent way. Aurelius framework is a multi platform solution – available on Windows 32/64, macOS, iOS and Android. As a developer, you can choose from the free version (only available for Delphi Berlin) and the paid version which is available for older versions of Delphi and you have access to source code and also gives you fast support from the TMS team.
