Is it a on-site job (location Munich), or can you work remotely via the internet?

On site for now. Sorry.

Do I gather that this is more of a Delphi job than a freepascal one?

Our current software is written in Delphi (with the exception of our Windows Mobile client which is written using FPC/Lazarus). The new core for our software (an application server) is planned to be written in FPC. The language for the new Win32 client is not yet decided (either Delphi or FPC) as the first stress is on a replacement of our IntraWeb based webfrontend (using the app server and a JS/HTML5 webapp).

So to answer your question: it is both (depending how far you'll work on the existing software).

Regards,
Sven

My I suggest you take a is an open source Object
Persistent Framework that has been around since the late 90's. I can currently switch between database components (IBX, SqlDB, Zeos, DOA, FBLib etc) and backend databases (Firebird, MySQL, Oracle, NexusDB, MS SQL-Server etc), and even to a 3-tier system (via HTTP or DCOM), simply by changing a compiler define and doing a recompile of the project. NO code changes required, and NO vendor lock-in.

tiOPF has been used in commercial applications for many years. tiOPF also works with Free Pascal and Delphi. There are even some Free Pascal developers like Michael van Canneyt and a few others that use tiOPF too.

Source code is hosted on SourceForge.

We'll most likely stay with our own ORM layer / SQL generator of which we know that it can handle some specific cases that we have (most importantly "selecting by tree node" and user defined fields). It's one of the few components of our current software that we plan to reuse ;)

Nevertheless thank you for the suggestion.

Sven
