Get ready to mark your calendars because the TMS Training Days are back, and this year, we're heading to the vibrant city of Lille, France, on September 26th and 27th. Set agains...

TMS Aurelius version 1.7, released a couple of weeks ago, introduced a new feature that was often requested by users: JSON support. You may ask yourself, why is that so important? Can't I "use JSON" already with Delphi itself using JSONMarshal class,...

When creating a database-based application, one of the tasks I always considered boring was to create the database structure, table, fields, foreign keys. Even using a tool to generate a SQL would require me to create a table, add columns, column typ...

TMS Aurelius has been released and we are very satisfied with feedback from all of you. Most comments are compliments and questions about how to use the existing many features, but some of them are also feature requests. So the intention of this pos...
