Database Development
Developers can install packages that allow Lazarus to support several databases. Programs can interact with databases through code or by components dropped on a form. The data-aware components represent fields and are connected by the correct setting of properties to a TDataSource, which represents a table, and to the database components, which may be TPSQLDatabase, TSQLiteDataSet, or equivalent.
The following databases are supported out of the box using the built in database components:
- dBase and FoxPro can be supported without the need for an external server or library through the TDbf component
- InterBase / Firebird. See
- MySQL. See
- ODBC databases. See
- Oracle. See
- PostgreSQL. See
- SQLite. See
Other components, such as Zeoslib, can also be used
- MSSQL works with Zeoslib. FPC versions after 2.6.0 will allow FreeTDS for MSSQL access.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
