External index files - Tdbf

[TRNelson]

Is there a good small example somewhere on how to set up and use an external index file in Tdbf?  The Tdbf Tutorial is scant on this type of information.  The Tdbf Manual says what everything is but has few examples.

That is fantastic!  It is exactly what I was looking for.  A bonus is that it also answered a few other unrelated questions.  Small projects like this make learning Lazarus a lot easier.

By the way, a little comment to example:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   FieldDefs.Add('ID', ftAutoInc, 0, True);
2.   ...
3.   Append;
4.   // Fields[0].AsInteger:=100;  // Do not fill 'ID' because its type is ftAutoInc
5.   fields[1].AsString:='France';
6.

Thank you!  Another great example.
