### Supported Databases (MVCActiveRecord)

MVCActiveRecord works with any database supported by FireDAC. The RQL (Resource Query Language) compiler and SQL generator are available for the following databases:

| Database | Minimum Version | Notes |
|----------|----------------|-------|
| **PostgreSQL** | 9.6+ | RETURNING clause, native UUID. Recommended: 13+ |
| **Microsoft SQL Server** | 2012+ | OFFSET/FETCH pagination requires 2012. Recommended: 2019+ |
| **MySQL** | 5.7+ | LAST_INSERT_ID, backtick quoting. MariaDB 10.2+ also supported |
| **Firebird** | 1.5+ | gen_id sequences, ROWS pagination. RETURNING clause requires 2.0+. Recommended: 3.0+ (IDENTITY columns) |
| **InterBase** | XE3+ | No RETURNING clause, uses gen_id sequences for auto-generated keys |
| **SQLite** | 3.8+ | last_insert_rowid, no sequences. Recommended: 3.30+ |
| **Oracle** | 12c (12.1)+ | OFFSET/FETCH pagination, RETURNING clause, sequences via DUAL |

> **Tip:** Include `MVCFramework.SQLGenerators` in your project's uses clause to register all database backends at once. Alternatively, include only the specific generator you need (e.g. `MVCFramework.SQLGenerators.PostgreSQL`).

## 🔒 **Security & TLS 1.3 Support**

DelphiMVCFramework provides enterprise-grade security features including full **TLS 1.3 support**. The framework automatically negotiates the highest available TLS version and provides:

- **Perfect Forward Secrecy** with modern cipher suites
- **Certificate validation** and custom certificate handling
- **SNI (Server Name Indication)** support for multiple SSL certificates
- **HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)** headers
- **Secure cookie** handling with SameSite attributes
- **CSRF protection** mechanisms

TLS 1.3 brings significant security and performance improvements, including faster handshakes and stronger encryption algorithms. DelphiMVCFramework leverages these improvements automatically when deployed in compatible environments.

## 🏁 **Quick Start**

Here's how a simple DMVCFramework controller looks like:

```pascal
// 1. Create a controller
[MVCPath('/api/hello')]
TMyController = class(TMVCController)
public
  [MVCPath('/world')]
  [MVCHTTPMethod([httpGET])]
  function HelloWorld: TMyObject;
end;

// 2. Implement the action
function TMyController.HelloWorld: TMyObject;
begin
  Result := TMyObject.Create('Hello World!');
end;

// 3. Register and start server elsewhere
FMVC := TMVCEngine.Create(Self);
FMVC.AddController(TMyController);
```
