Well, they're standard FPC components[1] rather than Lazarus components then... (So follow up questions probably belong on the FPC list rather than the Lazarus one) See http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Database_bug_reporting#FreePascal for a simple example, but you can work with queries etc just as you're used to with Lazarus [1] FPC's sqldb, which is also used by Lazarus GUI components -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
