I just downloaded the PgDAC components for Delphi 2009 because they claim to be a replacement for the BDE and they do unicode.
Now, why is it that demos never work? They usually look more like exams to check if you understand everything, instead of explaining things!
I tried to run the demo and nothing works because I have to "connect" with some database, enter a password etc.
The help file says:
How can a new user possibly know this???"Click on the "Connect" button on the PgDacDemo toolbar. A Connect dialog box will open. Enter the connection parameters you use to connect to your PostgreSQL server and click "Connect" in the dialog box. "
I have no idea what "a PostgreSQL server" is and whether it is on my pc or not!
I just know how to use the BDE and I did some experimenting with BlackFishSQL and dBExpress. I just want a decent simple example of basic things like:
* "How can I create a new database + tables & indices from scratch, having installed Delphi 2009 and PgDAC???" and
* "How do I connect this with grids etc.?".
I would be grateful for any help!
