Quickly Learn How To Debug And Monitor Your FireDAC Connection In Delphi

The MoniLayerClients sample shows you how to use the FireDAC tracing and monitoring capabilities to show how an application is communicating with a FireDAC monitor client. To this end, the sample uses two different FireDAC monitor clients: FlatFile-client and Remote-client. To use both monitor clients, the sample uses two client link components: the TFDMoniFlatFileClientLink component and the TFDMoniRemoteClientLink component.
