Quick question - DBs and Libraries
lazarus / 16-Databases

Hey there

A quick question about databases: Is it possible to create libraries
that handle them using, for example, a Tdbf component? Because when I
create a library I only get the code window, and I can't really insert
components into it... Should I create a form or something?

I know this could be a rather easy question, but I don't have much
experience with Lazarus or Libraries. Also, I want to use this
component as an independent part of a bigger project.



Cheers!

Just create the component in code and use it in code, since it is non-
visual anyway:

var
  MyDataset: TDBF;
begin
  // create the component
  MyDataset := TDBF.Create(Application);
  // now set the properties
  MyDataset.Filename := 'somefilename';
  ...
