use MSDBMonitor with Professional edition

brace · Post by **brace** » Thu 09 Dec 2010 10:45

Since I don't have the DBMonitor since delphi professional doesn't have it, is it possible to use MSDBMonitor with dbExpress devart driver? (I am testing dbExpress trial)

Hello,

To trace your application with dbMonitor you should perform the following steps:

1. Drop TSQLMonitor component onto the form.
2. Start dbMonitor before running your program.

The TSQLMonitor component is included into the SQLExpr.pas unit and you need to add it to the components palette manually.

Ok i found out.

i renamed the SqlExpr unit and created a new package... ANyway when i try to set the Connection the dropdown is empty, and if I type explicitly in the field it says "invalid propety value".

Can you help?

Hello,

Please remove the package which you have created and installed.
Reinstall the dbExpress components from the dcldbx.bpl file, the TSQLMonitor component can be included into it.
If it isn't included in this package you shouldn't rename the SqlExpr unit, you should create a package with the same SqlExpr file.
