Delphi 10.4 on the Windows platform will be the starting point for building our apps and prototyping, but talking about the key points of deploying to mobile devices will be our main focus. Additionally, some discussion and code examples will involve SQL, the Structured Query Language that's used by modern databases, and familiarity with it will be assumed.

This chapter discusses two different databases: InterBase and SQLite. SQLite is free and open source and is supported on every platform. InterBase's embedded editions (IBLite and IBToGo) are geared for mobile platforms, and either can be used depending on the license you have. When developing and testing from Delphi in Windows, an InterBase server needs to be running – the Developer Edition that comes with Delphi serves this purpose. The Mac desktop will not be used in this chapter.

The code for the two projects we will cover in this chapter can be found on GitHub at the following URL...
