Connecting to external database in iOS

Question

I know I can use SQLlite and of course a clientdataset, but....
How do I connect to an external database over the internet in iOS using Firemonkey?

Answer 1

There's a blog page on EDN here, it uses a non-visual datasnap library:

The example connects to a remote Interbase, server, but it should be fairly easy to rewrite it to use other databases like MySQL.
