Hi.

Years ago, when the TDBF component was made first for delphi, I downloaded and made an extension, which replaces the "TDBF.path" property, for a reference for a Database component with the path.

TDBF =>
TDBFDatabase, TDBFTable, ...

Thisway, I could have several TDBF tables linkes,
to a single TDBF database component,
with a single path.

The database component was planned to be used for future related components, suich queries, etc.

In that time, I send some emails, to the TDBF page, to see what they think, but got no answer.
Recently, I found the source code,
and migrated to Lazarus (using Lazarus TDBF source).

What do you think I should to be included in Lazarus ?

(1) Change name to TDBF2, TDBFExt, TDBFDB and included in Lazarus (2) Change name to TDBF2, TDBFExt, TDBFDB and keep it a s a separate component. (3) other

Any ideas ?

First of all, tDbf is distributed with Free Pascal, and not Lazarus.

You are free to build your own components, and publish them. Maybe you can even use the Lazarus-ccr for that. If the component becomes popular and well-maintained, mqybe it will evenutally end up in the default Lazarus-distribution.
