Sorry, never used sqlserver. There's a wiki page for it: https://wiki.freepascal.org/mssqlconn - no idea whether it is still valid.

As for connecting to databases without GUI (you mean: in a console program?) you coud study the code in (fpc-source)/packages/fcl-db/examples. Or if you need more words, try https://wiki.freepascal.org/SqlDBHowto or https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Database_Overview and links therein.

You may want to read my article about connecting a console program to a database. You could read it here: https://paklebah.github.io/fpc-sqldb-dan-sqlite.html

It's written in Indonesian, but google translate would help you translating it into any languages you prefer. HTH. 😊

Sorry for all of the technical forums drama.  Bee, I just wanted to let you know I appreciated the article you wrote.  Thank you! :D
macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and sometimes OpenIndiana.

Blessed, loved and forgiven! :D

Such an artikel should be translated and posted in the fpc wiki. I am not able to read it direct, but the samples alone are very informative.

Very well done Mr Bee.

About connection to mssql. The article in the wiki is ok with one exception, avoid the use of the very,very old ntwdblib.dll. You must have a look for the correct bitness. The mssqlserver must use tcp over port 1433. And it is very similar to the democode of MrBee.
SqlDb and Zeos are ok. Both are running on windows, linux and RasPi.

---------- Edit ----------
If you have problems with the posting here: Copy the article in a plain normal editor and check if not a special char is in the text, remove the smilies and other artwork. Look for quotes and doublequotes and if possible remove it. After thi8s copy it back to the (cleared) postwindows.
The reason behind is, all text is normally stored in a database and to make this secure, a lot of char combinations and words are forbidden or treated in a special manner. This can sometimes make it impossible to post without a clear reason. But the security have to block this.

Wow… glad to see my article is actually helpful to someone here. I wrote it to explain database programming to Indonesian Pascal community on Facebook, hence it's written in Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). Fortunately we now have google translate so my article can be read in any languages. I know the translation won't be perfect, but you should get the idea. You're welcome, guys. 😊

Hi Gebony,  for general connection you can use TSqlConnector

this is minimal example, I can get

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
