Don't judge Midas by it's price until you have talked to Inprise. The list

Thanks Nic, dbOverNet licence sounds much cheaper than Midia.
I will contact with them.
I've already developed a Midas prototype. But the licence is too
expensive, we have to get rid of it.

have you thought about using dbOverNet?
www.dbovernet.com - same idea as MIDAS (which, IMO, is your best option,
tho it IS expensive), but I'm guessing their cost structure is a little
different :)
