Überblick

This tutorial is about basic database development using the TDbf component (by Micha Nelissen) with Lazarus. Additional documentation for the TDbf is available. This page was created by Tony Maro but other contributions are welcome!

What you will need

No doubt this will soon be easier as FreePascal releases the next version 2.0, however currently you will need a recent CVS edition of FPC 1.9.X in order to properly use the TDbf component. It may be possible to download just the TDbf component by itself and use it with the 1.1 version of FreePascal, however this document was written with 1.9.X in mind, partly due to bug fixes in the other database components used in Lazarus.

You will also need to install the DbfLaz package that comes with Lazarus. It's located in the lazarus/components/tdbf/ directory.

What the TDbf provides

The TDbf provides access to dBase and FoxPro database tables for Lazarus (and others). It allows for reading, writing and creation of dBase III+, dBase IV, Visual dBase VII and FoxPro tables. It does all of this without the need for additional libraries or database engines. Simply drop the TDbf on your form and you have instant access to a cross-platform database environment. The TDbf works in both Windows and Linux using Lazarus.
