Best practice for Data Component management in multiform app
« on: January 24, 2011, 01:40:24 pm »
G'Day one and all,

I'm using the zeos database components and SQLite in a multiform sqlite database app, however I'm finding that the management of them in all the forms is becoming a chore, especially setting the database location in each TzConnection.

Each form has a TZConnection, then a number of TzTables, and DataSources.  Am I better off setting a single TzConnection on the main form then keeping the TzTables and datasources on the relevant forms?

Regards,

Stephen...

You can use a TDataModule to contain your Connection, and some tables, querys or what ever you may need.

You can add a TDataModule by choosing menu: "File/New.." then pick "Data Module" from the "Module" branch and click OK
