Good question... > Also, what's the difference between TBufDataset and TMemDataset? Aren't they > both in-memory datasets? If so, why do we have two different components for > the same thing? Yes, they are both in-memory datasets and, I believe, TMemDataSet came first and TBufDataSet could be an improvement. Here -> http://wiki.freepascal.org/How_to_write_in-memory_database_applications_in_Lazarus/FPC says that TBufDataSet is a better choice. Why two classes for the same thing? I have no idea.
