Evaluating Postgresql DAC

didiergm · Post by **didiergm** » Tue 24 Aug 2010 10:38

Hello,

before evaluating your components, I would a lot like to have answers to the following questions, as I am thinking of migrating from another set of components but would lke to be sure it is as painless as possible;

- Could you explain what is the benefit of your pgdatasource component and can I still use the tdatasource instead ?

- the fastreports connector: which version of fastreports is supported ?

- is the UUID datatype fully supported and how (string, longint ....)

regards
Didier

Hello,

The behaviour of TPgDataSource and TDataSource are identical at run-time.
At design-time TPgDataSource can automaticaly detect and set its DataSource property to existing DataSource

At this time supports fourth version of the FastReport

The UUID type is not yet supported in the current version of PgDAC.
We plan to support this data type in the one of the next builds.

The other types are supported.

Hi Didier,

I use PgDAC in Lightning Admin and it's by far the best PGSQL library for
Delphi, I highly recommend it. The fact you don't need libpq.dll is brilliant.

Look for a new version of Lightning Admin soon.
