How do I use Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and MIDAS together?
MIDAS and MTS are complementary technologies. MTS is a transaction server which manages transactions for objects. These objects are written by Delphi and C++ developers and managed by MTS. The components may have database connections by indicating they are transactional, or they may not. If these components contain ODBC connections for Microsoft SQL Server, these connections become part of the transaction, and MTS can talk directly with the ODBC Driver. MTS developers using MIDAS gain thin client briefcase mode, automatic constraint and business rule updates, data updates, and support for database engines other than Microsoft SQL Server.
