No. TDatabase should not be in the component palette, it is an abstract class. You need to put TIBDatabase on the component palette. It is in the 'Interbase' unit in directory fcl/db/interbase

2. If I use Firebird, do I need to create a descendent so that I can use it in TDatabase. How about TTable, can we use it now?

The interbase unit defines TIBDatabase/TIBTransaction/TIBQuery. No support for TTable yet, but I assume that this can be emulated using TIBQuery.

Hi all,

I am now trying to work on database under Linux using Lazarus. I have few question before I'll have to mess with my computer.

1. I found that TDatabase is now in the component palette, but using it does not show up any properties nor events, do I need to upgrade my fpc sources?
2. If I use Firebird, do I need to create a descendent so that I can use it in TDatabase. How about TTable, can we use it now?

That is the first component that is removed from the component palette.

For those interested:
To get the interbase components in the IDE compile lazarus clean with -dInterbase in the build options.
