Here is a possible structure of the page.I'm not familiar yet to working with this lufdoc , that's why i'm putting the skeleton here on the mailing list for the moment. Sqldb guide 1. Introduction - what is FCL-db - what is Sqldb ; the supported databases - the current document concentrates on the sql databases 2. Concepts - the diagram shown here http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/SQLdb_Programming_Reference - explanations about each of the classes 3. Connecting to a database - how to instatiate a TsqlConnection for each of the supported databases - checking that the connection succeeded - closing the connection - frequently used methods of the TSqlConnection class - maybe : link to another doc "Setting up the database for the sqldb guide examples" , so that the specific instructions for creating the db doesn't clutter this guide 4. Transactions - how to instantiate a TsqlTransaction and "link" it to the connection object - frequently used methods of the TSqlTransaction class : StartTransaction, Commit, CommitRetaining, Rollback. 5. Executing SQL commands 5.1 The TSqlQuery class - how to instante and "link" the query to the transaction and connection. - frequently used methods 5.2 Executing simple sql queries (which don't return tuples) - cfilltable.pp 5.3 Executing a sql query and traversing the records - example for accessing the fields by name - dshowtable.pp - example for accessing the fields by position - using filters - gfiltertable.pp 5.4 Editing the records - fedittable.pp 5.5 Queries with parameters - efilltableparams.pp 5.6 Executing sql commands with connection.ExecuteDirect - example for using ExecuteDirect - bcreatetable.pp - advantages/disavantages compared to using a TSqlQUery 5.7 Other stuff - getting the list of tables - alisttables.pp - other functionality that i'm not aware of 6. Developing FCL-DB and SqlDb 6.1 Structure of the FCL-DB directory in the FPC sources 6.2 Implementing a new kind of TSqlConnection 7.

And before anyone gets their hopes up, to make chm's searchable you have to at creation time generate a special file that is contained in the chm. To me it's relatively difficult and I never implemented it. Short version: chm's made with the current chm writing code cannot be searched with the helpviewer. That having been said, If a viewer is written for chm files (there is reader code with fpc too) perhaps a database file created with some search engine (like ioda) can be included and integrated so searching is possible. Michael, are the manuals written in rtf? why couldn't they be in a chm file?

[fpc-pascal] [2.3.1] Can't take the address of constant expressions
Hi ! I am trying the 2.3.1 and I can not recompile my projects. I ve got the message :Can't take the address of constant expressions. I have only the following : TMyClass = class(TObject) p_ref : TAnotherClass; procedure setRef(AValue: TANotherClass); public property ref: TAnotherClass read p_ref write setRef; end; Where am I wrong for the 2.3.1 ? -- Damien Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] People who used magic without knowing what they were doing usually came to a sticky end.

No, you have more:

TMyClass = class(TObject)
p_ref : TAnotherClass;
procedure setRef(AValue: TANotherClass);

(even adding "type" and a dummy declaration for TAnotherClass is not
enough to get the error message you are reporting)
TMyClass = class(TObject)
p_ref : TAnotherClass;

Where am I wrong for the 2.3.1 ?
Please post the full source needed to reproduce the error message you
are getting.

[fpc-pascal] fpc 2.2.0, trying to install as none root on Linux
Hello, I have downloaded fpc-2.2.0.i386-linux.tar, decompressed the archive and run the install script ./install.sh as none root. The script prompts the following message: "Install prefix (/usr or /usr/local) [/home/bernd/fpc-2.2.0]:" I read the manual and expected to answer some simple questions. I think, it is my lack of Linux experience, but is not clear to me, what I should enter now. I would like to install the compiler/rtl/docs into /home/bernd/fpc220 and leave the rest of the system completely untouched. Is this possible? If yes, what do I have to enter? Thanks.

[fpc-pascal] copy(), length(), and setlength() is not mentioned in fpc docs?
Hi all, Is it just me or above methods are indeed not mentioned within fpc's doc 2.2.0? Any texts that are supposed to be a link to above methods is not formed as a link. Just to make sure, before I'll report this to mantis as a "bug". :) -Bee- has Bee.ography at: http://beeography.wordpress.com ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
