In the aforementioned WIKI page it is mentioned that one could use ODBC towards MSSQL by: "just use the SQLdb component that is included" In order to check how to do this I went to the SQLDb WIKI page at http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/SQLdb_Package Here is stated the following: "The SQLdb package contains FPC units to access a number of SQL databases. It is "packaged" as sqldblaz.lpk in Lazarus, and the components can be found on the "SQLdb" tab. " But in my new Lazarus built from the SVN 0_9_30_fixes branch there simply is no such tab.... Is the WIKI page in error or am I doing something stupid? Or rather (since right now I have not done anything at all): am I NOT doing something that is obvious to all Lazarians? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
