Data Abstract

Fast, easy, and secure data access for your apps.

Data Abstract lets you separate your database from your applications with a clean middle tier, while keeping native APIs and platform-friendly client libraries on every target.

Model your data once, expose it safely, and connect from the languages and tools your teams already use.

Data access belongs in the middle tier.

Keep your database private, your business rules centralized, and your client apps light. Data Abstract gives each platform a native way to talk to the same secure services.

Secure by design

Applications talk to your Data Abstract server, not directly to your database. You control the data model, update rules, authentication, and permissions in one place.

Explore the middle tier

Model once

Define schemas, tables, commands, and relationships centrally. Client apps receive a consistent, strongly modeled view of your data across every supported platform.

Learn about schemas

Database-agnostic

Connect to the database engines you already use, from SQL Server and Oracle to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and more, without baking vendor details into every app.

See supported databases

Native clients for every app you build.

Use Data Abstract from the tools and languages your team already works in, with APIs that feel natural on each platform.

.NET

.NET

Build Windows, web, server, and cross-platform .NET apps with strongly typed data access and LINQ-friendly workflows.

Data Abstract for .NET Delphi

Delphi

Bring mature multi-tier data access to VCL and FireMonkey apps across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Data Abstract for Delphi Cocoa

Cocoa

Use native Cocoa APIs from Swift, Objective-C, or Elements to access remote data from Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV apps.

Data Abstract for Cocoa Java and Android

Java & Android

Connect Android and JVM applications to your Data Abstract services with familiar Java patterns and asynchronous APIs.

Data Abstract for Java JavaScript

JavaScript

Bring secure data access into browser and web client experiences without exposing direct database access to the public internet.

See all platforms

The same simple idea on every platform.

Pick a client platform and the sample changes, but the shape stays familiar: create an adapter, ask for data, and work with the result.

Use LINQ-friendly .NET APIs to ask a remote Data Abstract service for a typed table and work with the rows directly.

var rda = new LinqRemoteDataAdapter("https://sample.remobjects.com/bin");
var table = from c in rda.GetTable<Clients>() where c.ClientName.EndsWith("A");
foreach (Clients c in table)
{
    // work with your data
}
