You are correct, saying 'large portion of the library' was a mistake. But as I remember, you don't have access to the VCL source code with the Community Editio

You are correct, saying 'large portion of the library' was a mistake. But as I remember, you don't have access to the VCL source code with the Community Edition. The feature matrix says that this is 'limited in Community', whatever that means.
We wanted to do MongoDB connections, which comes with FireDAC. But that's only available in the Enterprise Edition. So we ended up rewriting TMongoWire[0] to fit our needs.
I am sure you can do most things in Delphi in the Community edition, but it's a little too late, unfortunately.

- marcocantu 8y agoYou are right about MongoDB... as for "VCL source code" it is available, but with licensing limitations
- wila 8y agoOh FireDAC is no longer available for Professional version either? Geez.. really not going to lay down $3k for an EE. How is that "professional" if you cannot even read/write to sqlite.
- fmxexpress 8y agoThis is incorrect. I have Pro. I use FireDAC. SQLite can be used with Pro.
- wila 8y ago@fmxexpress thanks for the info. That's exactly what I am doing now, but I am not on the latest version.
- TheJimMcKeeth 8y agoBoth Professional and Community Edition include FireDAC. https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/product-editions https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/product-editions "Build database apps with local/embedded connectivity" is in every edition. The only difference is you need Enterprise or Architect to connect to "Enterprise class" databases like a remote Oracle server.
- wila 8y agoAh ok, it doesn't mention FireDAC, fair enough. At least you can save data in a database. Thanks for the correction.
- nenadst 8y agounfortunately "Enterprise DBs" means also Postgresql, Mysql, SQL Server etc. (anything Client/Server) you can probably just use another Framework like (free) ZeosDB (http://zeoslib.sourceforge.net/ http://zeoslib.sourceforge.net/) or some paid ones e.g. from Devart (https://www.devart.com/dac.html https://www.devart.com/dac.html) but still, its frustrating to have to use something else for such basic functionality ...
