Hello,

I installed yesterday Lazarus & FPC on Linux64 bits and cannot find
the usual connection objects for PostgreSQL, although SQLDb is
installed, the Data Access tab only shows TDatasource & tBufDataset. I
must have done something wrong but I cannot see what.

Any clues would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Didier

Have a look at the sqldb tab.
If it's not there, try adding at least the sqldb package (see wiki
pages on adding packages) and rebuild Lazarus

You can also do a make bigide from the command line, then open Lazarus
and rebuild for good measure. This will install some more packages (if
any are missing)

Maybe the package isnt installed, go your {$LazarusDir}/compontns/
and search the db component and install it

I did a clean reinstall, and this time got everything I needed; Thanks
for the help

Now onto learning how SQLDB works

Good!

Don't forget to have a look at the wiki - e.g. the sqldb tutorial1....
and if you can improve the wiki, please feel free!
There are also some examples in Lazarus; the lazdatadesktop for
instance is a fairly big one.
