'ZEOS TZQuery' vs 'FPC TSQLQuery' database component
« on: September 17, 2013, 08:11:05 am »
Im moved from Delphi to Lazarus to write cross platform open source DB application based on Postgres engine.
Early I used MySQL + UniDAC component under delphi.
Now i need your advice which component to use under Lazarus: TSQLQuery or TZQuery?

lets take into account following values:
- documentation, examples
- future prospects, updates, supports
- reliability
- speed

my first impressio (IMHO)
ZEOS (-)
- simple EXE application size 18mb enlarged vs TSQLQuery (38-20=18mb)
- no documentation

ZEOS (+)
TZPgEventAlerter, TZSQLMetadata, TZSQLMonitor

FPC has both Postgresql and Firebird units for event monitoring (TFBEventMonitor, TPQTEventMonitor) that work with sqldb. See the sqldb tab in Lazarus.
SQLDB in FPC trunk has enhanced metadata retrieval functionality built in (see the connection object); SQLDB in FPC 2.6.2 already has some, as well.

(2.6.3 is roughly the state of trunk of  august 22th, when the bufdataset format was bumped)

You mean the metadata improvements are in fixes 2.6? Yes, that would be a plus although the OP would then need to build FPC+Laz himself rather than use downloaded versions. I've heard though that there is a tool available for that ;)

nevertheless FPC has very poor metadata information in TPQConnection component.
PQConnection.GetFieldNames, PQConnection.GetTableNames,  PQConnection.GetProcedureNames

How to get detailed column information without writing direct query 'SELECT FROM pg_...' to get additional data like a ColumnTYPE, ColumnLENGTH, etc ?
How to get ForeignKey list?
How to get Indexes list?
