Hi list,

I've just finished writing SQL DB Tutorial3
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/SQLdb_Tutorial3

At least for now, I think I'm about done editing/adding db tutorials because it's a lot of work and my GUI (db) fu is not that strong anyway.

What I would like to do is to get the tutorial programs into Lazarus as example programs that refer to the wiki pages - hopefully that may cause more people to look at them and can be used in any case to refer people to when they're stuck.

The first tutorial instructs readers to use the Firebird employee database (or how to adapt part of it to PostgreSQL, sqlite or other database)... then that one and the other 2 build on that schema. (If you'd prefer to take out the schema setup and put it into a separate "tutorial0/preparation" page, fine by me.)

I'd like to ask you to correct/update the wiki if you spot problems. Fixes/updates to the code (in case of tutorial3) are of course also welcome.

The other 2 pages are linked to in the 3rd tutorial.

Thanks to the original authors of sqldb tutorial1 which I merely started tweaking, never knowing where it would end up...

I'll have a look in some time to see if I can package up the example programs for inclusion into Lazarus.

Regards,
Reinier

PS: Have been thinking having some standard db schema could be useful when submitting Laz bug reports as well though conceivably the fpc dbtestframework db could be used but that one's dynamically built and destroyed, hard to write a Laz test program for....

Thanks for putting that together, it looks great.

Thanks to everybody who responded & updated the wiki.

I've uploaded the sqldb tutorial3 for inclusion into the Lazarus examples: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=23389

Thanks,
