Overview

The aim of this book is to teach cross-platform database programming to Delphi 6 or Kylix programmers. The book will assume the reader has a basic understanding of databases, such as what tables, rows, columns, fields, indexes, etc. are. It will also assume the reader has a working knowledge of Delphi and/or Kylix.

A thorough investigation of cross-platform database development using dbExpress will follow the introduction. Eric will cover topics ranging from setting up a database connection to single- and multi-tiered database applications. Along the way, he will present code snippets and small sample applications to illustrate the points being made. Also, a complete database application will be presented which will compile and run under either Delphi or Kylix, and will contain such discussed features as disconnected datasets.

Delphi and Kylix programmers will learn dbExpress, a database-access technology, in this guide covering topics ranging from setting up a database connection to single- and multi-tiered database applications. Concepts are illustrated with code and sample applications, plus a complete database application. The book can be used as an introduction to dbExpress technology, a reference in putting the technology to use in production environments, and a code resource.
