Hello All, Please, We want to abandon Borland Compilers. They are pretty good, but aren't GPL! We start a ERP Open Source Project, but I can't use GPL Licence under Delphi. This Project will be helpfull for many companies, and individual users, so is very important go ahead with this task. The problem is: How to setup Lazarus to work with any RDBMS, like Firebird (our original Delphi RDBMS)?

- There is a TIBDataset available in Free Pascal. It should be basically working, but may need some debugging.

- There are no data-aware controls yet.
However, getting some simple TDBedit to work should be quite easy and straightforward.

- There are ODBC units and components as well, but no TODBCDataset yet. It should be easily implemented.

We are engaged in another Open Source Porject, called MDO (Mercury Database Objects), based in IBX Open Source Project for Delphi. There is a way to move this project to Lazarus?

The low-level stuff should be portable.

Michael.

Well i started a FreeIB port for lazarus (linux) but the only thing i did is to connect to the firebird and that's it I did a query but is crashes and give me a AV :(
I will try it to debug it (read the freepascal debug howto...)
