hi-
I bought a few delphi books (7) and older.
Can I use just lazarus controls for db, or do I need zeosdb controls too?
Do the lazarus controls mimic the db controls in delphi 7 or earlier?
For i.e. if I read in my delphi 7 or earlier books how the db works am I in a sense learning how the lazarus db work too?
Do data sets, fields, tquery,ttable all work the same as in older delphi yes|no
Lastly, there is no data module yet...correct?
I guess in a general sense I am wondering if everything mostly works the same.
borland products used to have a cool help system, and I am just wondering if my old delphi books
can be substituted for a help system.
Thanks for any input. I have been reading a little pascal and old delphi books lately getting ready to code.
I mostly worked on C++ and Tcl/TK this past year and used a C++/Firebird library for my hobby.
Thanks again,
jim
