[fpc-pascal]dbExpress with fpc
Hi all, 1. I'm currently checking out dbExpress with Kylix. Is is compilable with fpc ? 2. Is there an IDL-to-objectpascal mapping somewhere ? cheers, -Krish ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

FPC supports both COM and CORBA interfaces - right ? cheers, -Krish ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I think you at least need a license for a Pro+ version of Delphi and thet covers you for deployment. None of the TDataSet stuff was included in the Personal version last time I looked. Infact D7 Personal IDE will not let you load the Pro+ dataset packages. I know, I looked into that as a matter of personal discovery ;-) > > Not yet. > FPC supports both COM and CORBA interfaces - right ? I wouldn't have thought so. Delphi does it via compiler magic.

I think you are free to implement them. btw, TDataSet is not part of dbExpress. I also looked at Qt's database classes and I see a strong resemblance to dbExpress's (including class and method names !) > > FPC supports both COM and CORBA interfaces - right ? > > I wouldn't have thought so. Delphi does it via compiler magic. I think fpk told me so on #fpc . cheers, -Krish ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

You must implement a library which exposes this interface. > btw, TDataSet is not part of dbExpress. No. It's part of the VCL. It's available in FPC as well. dbExpress has 2 parts: - A VCL part - a TDataset Descendendent. - A driver, which exposes a strictly defined interface. The driver can be written in any language. > > I also looked at Qt's database classes and I see a strong resemblance to dbExpress's > (including class and method names !) I suspect that this is because Borland and Troll Tech cooperated on this matter, and I would not be surprised if Troll Tech used Borland's design :-) > > > > > FPC supports both COM and CORBA interfaces - right ? > > > > I wouldn't have thought so. Delphi does it via compiler magic. > I think fpk told me so on #fpc . An interface is a construct independent of COM or CORBA. It's just a set of methods. Delphi does allow you to use COM methods transparantly via interfaces. In principle, the same should be true for FPC.

Classes implementing CORBA style interfaces do not have to implement those three (AddRef, RemoveRef (?), QueryInterface) cheers, -Krish ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Yes, the underlying database access, but to make it usefull you'd either need to reimplement the pascal interface or port the Delphi classes that access dbExpress. That was my thought anyway. IIRC you would need the source code for MidasLib too. Matt ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
[fpc-pascal]Libglade and fpc
Helllo all: I'm just starting to extend some examples about fpc, Gtk, MySql and Firebird. Like the samples I'm writing all the code to create the windows and widgets. It's possible to implement Libglade in fpc? Anyone has do it? Thanks in advance. Eduardo Lopez ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
