Hello,
Yes , you are right. (I've got my data base viewer to share, just wanted to try and fix a few glitches before I uploaded it.)
With thanks to those who have helped, here is my contribution to a MSSQL viewer.
It is similar to the lazarus wiki for MySQL (
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Database_Tutorial), but specifically geared to MSSQL.
It is quite simple, in that it:
1. connects to a datasource
2. Lists the tables
3. Displays the requested table in a grid
4. Allows the user to build an SQL query
5. Allows the user to do a basic field sort
6. Allows the field sort in ascending or descending order by a checkbox
It uses the ZEOS library for MSSQL connectivity.
I tried to program something similar to the MSQRY32.exe that comes with MS Office, which I find very useful. It obviously falls short, but is a step toward
the goal.
Feel free to use and modify,
When I add more functionality, I'll upload a newer version.
Regards
