Hi,

I've just started with UniDAC (test version so far). From what I've seen, a nice product!!

I've got a few 'newbee' questions:

1) What is the difference between the
a) ExecSQL
b) Execute
c) Open/Close
procedures?

2) Instead of dropping components on the form, I prefer to create them myself. I found out, that I cannot free or destroy the TUniQuery object without causing an exception. It works, when I create it with a TUniComponent object as its owner. The TUniQuery object will then be free'ed when the TUniConnection object is free'ed. Is this as intended?

Maybe the answers are obvious, but I couldn't find anything in the docs, which might have answered the above.

Regards

Carsten

Hello,

There is no difference between ExecSQL and Execute methods, they are added to simplify migration from other components. The Open method will work only when a SQL statement (or a function/procedure) returns RecordSet (Cursor), otherwise, the Open method will return an error.
A similar issue occurred when developing mobile applications and is now fixed. The fix will be included in the next UniDAC version.

Hi Alex,

thanks for the swift response!

Re 2), I forgot to mention, that this occurred on IOS, not on Win32.

All understood. Thanks!

Yes, this problem is already fixed for mobile platforms, we'll try to release a new build with this fix by the end of the month.
