Is Database independent when develop the DCOM application server?

[calvinchin]

Hi all,

I was leading a project in VB developing app. server using DCOM.

I understood that the programmer needs to build the server classes first before we can use it on the client application programs.

However, whenever there are changes on the database table fields size, name, or key setting, the programmer needs to change the same changes into the server classes, then recompile again.

I thought the use of the ODBC database is indenpendent from the progamming languages?

Any idea on how to accept the databases changes without any amendment to the server classes?

Thank you.

Regards,
Calvin

You have to design that feature into the server classes. There are well known Object Oriented Software Design Patterns that assist in designing that type of feature. VB is not an Object Oriented language so it may not be possible to create a simple design for that particular solution.
