Do they have a local Sqlite in-between layer for remote data similar to a remote view or vfp cursor generated by a cursoradapter ?

No there is not a real cursoradapter in Dabo. I don't see the need? Dabo maintains the variable or data object in memory and determines if there is a change - updates (or whatever CRUD operation is required) the variable/ data object to the remote storage. Of course it is based on the Dabo remote data model.

But I maintain that it is like a fox cursor in that you can (and normally you do require) filter data that is in the Dabo cursor. All the CRUD is there. Saving of course is handled by Dabo, updating is handled by Dabo, etc...

But this is not a 'remote view' (normally a view can not be changed) in that you can do any CRUD operation on the data. It's more like a fox cursor. Others may have a different view but that's how I see it.
