You need to compile some dataset components for example: TDbf, its simple and you dont need to install and setup a dbengine as MySQL or Firebird, but there are components for these too.
The steps to compile components vary depending if you are in linux or windows.
If you already compiled Tdbf component, then it's easy:
1. Drop a TDbf component
2. Drop a TDataSource Component
3. Drop some DataAware componentes: TDbEdit, TDbNavigator, TDbGrid (not very nice at the moment
, all components need testing so bugs can be fixed
), etc.
4. Wire everything
5. Open the dataset at runtime ( not a design time!). For ex:
procedure Form1.FORMCREATE(sender: TObject)
begin
dbf1.Open;
end;
