Dear,
After retiring, I met Lazarus and I really enjoyed this IDE, for several
reasons. However, I realized that objects that access Database of different
types (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, etc.), require an effort to make it work.
So, like the vast majority, I downloaded *ZeosLib* and as a step of magic
everything worked right away.
So I decided to analyze the sources of *ZeosLib* to try to understand why,
and it seems that the objects included in Lazarus require the libraries
with their most precise configuration on the machine where the application
is installed. *ZeosLib* allows the same libraries to be present in the same
application installation folder. So I'd like to suggest that those objects
that are already part of Lazarus may have the same behavior, so you do not
need to download any other object to access the database.
In lazarus you have complete control over where you want the libraries to be.
In code, you can also specify any path you want; It has been so since day 1.
Moreover, if you use the library loader component, you can specify the location
of the libraries exactly with a few clicks.
Michael.
