I have looked at the documentation for data binding and i understand kendo ui supports inline(local) and remote data banding(ajax)
Given that kendo ui is built on top of javascript (jquery) and the data formats that it expects (json,xml,odata) i think it is highly unlikely that it supports direct data binding with relational database(like oracle, db2 , mssql) directly. I am aware of some dbs like Mongo db that provide direct binding with javascript (through node.js but that is not really a client)
The only possibility i see here is routing via traditional approach i.e, a server component makes sql queries and expose the data via REST and the client(kendoui) access the REST using remote data binding. Are there any alternate ways? Can you confirm?

Hi,

Indeed Kendo UI needs a service which exposes any relational data as JSON. Kendo UI itself doesn't make SQL queries.
