It is not possible with TDBGrid, since its options lack a flag equivalent to TStringGrid's goFixedColSizing.
Perhaps by creating a descendant control you could make access to sizing the fixed column possible, but its design indicates that this possiblity has been excluded deliberately.

You should subclass TDBGrid or write a class helper, but if you're lazy just copy DBGrid.pas from $(LazarusDir)\lcl folder to your project directory and change the line(see screenshot).

Open a bugtracker ticket with a feature request. I don't see a reason why this number should be hard-coded. I It could a public property of TDBGrid, or at least a var in the interface section of dbgrids as well. Even scaling of the grid with screen resolution does not work here.

You can use the similar trick here to access the ColWidths:

I did try this
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. type
  2.   TMyDBGrid = class(TDBGrid);
  3.  
  4. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  5. begin
  6.   TMyDBGrid(DBGrid1).ColWidths[0] := 50;
  7. end;

But against all expectations it does not work.

Looking at the source code I find the following method which seems to be called whenever a column width changes. This is where the width of the indicator cell is set to 12 pixesl. So, if my hacked button-click code above, tries to set the indicator width to 50, the change of this column triggers UpdateGridColmnSizes which resets it back to 12...

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TCustomDBGrid.UpdateGridColumnSizes;
  2. var
  3.   i: Integer;
  4. begin
  5.   {$ifdef dbgDBGrid}
  6.   DebugLn('%s.UpdateGridColumnSizes', [ClassName]);
  7.   {$endif}
  8.   if FDefaultColWidths then begin
  9.     if dgIndicator in Options then
  10.       ColWidths[0]:=12;
  11.     if NeedAutoSizeColumns then
  12.       UpdateAutoSizeColumns;
  13.   end;
  14. end;
