When I thought about KOL, I never thought that a small program made with this library would ever be able to work with databases. Typically, a minimal Delphi application that used the BDE engine to communicate with databases would start at 600K in size. In order to connect to the server, to perform simple work, it was required to connect to the application modules of enormous scale, the inner contents of which remained a Great and Incomprehensible Secret for mere mortals. The most important secret for me still remains: what else is being done there compared to the engines made for KOL that the programs turn out to be so bloated.
