If what you want is to edit in-memory data inside a DBGrid without having to
have a database table, I recall trying this once with a stand-alone
TClientDataSet. You can write Delphi code to create all the required TFields
and then edit it in a DBGrid. Once finished, you can traverse and read the
records from the TClientDataSet and do whatever you need to. This is
actually using the TClientDataSet as an in-memory table. You may also want
to search the Delphi Informat web site since I think they had an article on
this about a year or two ago.
Since TClientDataSet is part of the Midas component suite, I'm not sure what
the licensing issue would be if you use it stand-alone without the
provider - I'd imagine it would be free though...
