If I forget, I always use the latest stable 32bit version of Lazarus and FPC. At the time of this signature that is Laz 3.0RC2 and FPC 3.2.2
OS: Windows 10 64 bit

Don't know, but you do realize there's built-in connectivity to PostgreSQL using the SQLDB components?

yes, I know, but from reading the page about tpsql, it kind of sounded like it didn't need libpq.dll and used tcp/ip only for communicating with the server.  Just wanted to check it out.

Where is that stated? AFAIK you'll need the respecting client library in order to access certain databases, and that's applicable to all supported databases (unless you try to create it yourself, which AFAIK no one is crazy enough to do it). It would be required, either statically (the IDE compiled with references to the dll as in sqlite package) or dynamically (only when needed as with other dbms).

OK, that means my knowledge is not wide enough.
Man, this DevArt guy is crazy...

It doesn't state that, but it also doesn't say libpq.dll is a requirement, it simply says over IP.   Yes the Devart PostgreSQL components work over IP using the wire protocol and don't need libpq.dll and they totally rock for PostgreSQL. It's super nice to be able to write a PostgreSQL app and not have to worry about deploying libpq.dll and it's dependencies.
I actually have a copy, but you need the source code version to use with Lazarus/Freepascal.

This is very interesting to me because PostgreSQL is one of three databases that I use - the others being SQLite and Firebird. But is this free?

No. See: http://www.devart.com/pgdac/editions.html
Only professional edition, which comes with source code, works with Lazarus/FPC.

Too bad. Anyway there's always Zeos and Lazarus' SQL component.
