I am sure that it is recommended practice by MS to install dependencies in an
application's folder. Otherwise there is a risk of stealth
upgrades/downgrades. For that reason, IBX always checks the application
folder first when looking for the Firebird DLL and only uses the registry to
locate it and other well known locations, if it can't find it there. I would
be surprised if Lazarus's SQL objects don't work that way as well.
By defaault, they use the normal DLL loading mechanisms, which means:
first the application directory, then the PATH setting.
If you need special paths, you can do so in code...
