I can't see students not needing DB access let alone 'early stage startups', without TDataSet et al, it would be effectively useless/worthless.
(we're STILL using D5 where I work)
- vintagedave 7y agoNo - you can do everything in Community you can in Pro, the main paid edition. You can certainly use databases. We generally have a higher SKU for remote databases.
- nenadst 7y agosorry but remote database = postgres, mysql (or any relational db server) that is ridiculous in 2020 and you only get that with the "enterprise edition" "professional" only gets you embeded and localhost DB ?!? I still have my old separate Firedac licence for an old project i support, but anybody new coming to this mess will just have a good lough and move on.
- clouddrover 7y ago> sorry but remote database = postgres, mysql (or any relational db server) You can use open source libraries like Zeoslib (https://zeoslib.sourceforge.io/ https://zeoslib.sourceforge.io/) or mORMot (https://synopse.info/fossil/wiki?name=SQLite3+Framework https://synopse.info/fossil/wiki?name=SQLite3+Framework).
