PWU = Powtils ?

Unfortunately, here in Brazil, most people/companies to not think so.
The most companies think to use C# or Java. I think Pascal is more
simple, small and fast. But I'm afraid when tell me nobody use Pascal
any more... especially when we talk about web applications.

Good you say that about ADO.
In my company, we use MSSQLServer too. No way to change that for many
reasons...
So, I would like to use FPC compiled on Linux, but is very important
the conection with MSSQLServer... and that has to be fast.
