What poor old BottomFeeder missed was that with a good object library / framework, you can get so close that it almost doesn't matter. I tried to convince him to even try Delphi, with its marvellous TDataSet descendants in the VCL... But AFAIK he never even downloaded the free version I pointed him to, whatever it may have been called back then.
