Lazarus Components x Zeos
cidadejr:
Hi! I'm an old developer and Delphi/Zeos libs user. But, I'm planning to start developing using Lazarus but I'm not sure Lazarus DB components (Postgres and Firebird) would work like (easy use) Zeos components.
Can anyone help me?
Handoko:
Lazarus supports Zeos, read more here:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Zeos_tutorial
Someone please add Zeos in to this wiki page:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Databases
GAN:
Sure, download https://sourceforge.net/projects/zeoslib/files/Zeos%20Database%20Objects/ and install this package ZComponents.Lpk
And this https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8ezhnpufAnQUEEyR2xINmNmaEE is the most complete documentation that I found "Zeos Documentation Collection"

In a mixed enviroment (Lazarus/Delphi) your best choice is ZEOS. If you only support Lazarus the sqlDB are so good and stable as ZEOS. The different between SqlDB and ZEOS is not so great on the first sight, BUT important. IMHO, you cannot easy change from ZEOS to SqlDB or other direction with only redefining the Components. The small details makes a great diffence.
Reporting COmponents in Lazarus are more centered to SqlDB not on ZEOS. If you work with report check this.
The community of ZEOS is still active and it is supported. I have seen this last year :-) Thank to the guys of ZEOS :-) The documentation found by GAN are the completest. The ZEOS Forum is still active.
But a lot of dead links are found in the internet, becaus a great knowledgebase was gone some years ago :-(

Thank you Andreas and you all. I’m very used to Zeos Lib on Delphi XE7. But besides Delphi anual renewal charge became quite expensive and I’m a OSx user and Linux lover, I’m thinking about starting a new project, that works in OSx, Linux and Windows. But some code and design I’ll try to import from my Delpho project (Zeos based).
And yes Andreas, of course I’ll need lots of reports for my application. Should I change to SqlDB? Or keep Zeos?
Thanks again!
