Hi,
I was wondering what is the best efficient way to create a view only announcement form for users. What I want is to show a grid with some data in it to the users who connects. Using a connection and a query to the maindatamodule can accomplish that task, but I will have waste of resources and connections to the database. After all the data will be read only and the same for all. Can I use ServerModule to do that? I mean can I put Connection component and Query Component to the ServerModule (set a Timer or UniThreadTimer to refresh it now and then) and just put a Datasource and a UniDBGrid to MainForm? In that way, I will have only one connection and one cursor to the database, and thousand of users viewing the same data (announcements).
Have you ever deal with that kind of situation before?
Thanks, Jason.
