By by-passing the "dll" (or "so" on Linux) library I mean you write function or procedure calls to the server that is running as a service on Windows. You don't use the library with its 160 exported functions. You connect directly to the server thus saving one layer of protocols. To do this, you have to translate all the c functions you need (not just the headers or ".h" files) into pascal. Not a trivial task!
the database service is a completely separate collection of processes. you can't just 'call' between processes, you need a RPC mechanism. sockets are as good a mechanism as any.
