| 9 | + | ### Where can I find database components? | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | At the moment the SQLdb components are part of FPC and Lazarus. They are installed by default in all more or less recent Lazarus versions. | |
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + | Manual installation: if you look in the \[\$LazarusDir\]/components you will see a subdirectory SQLdb. Install the sqldblaz.lpk and you will be able to connect to MySQL, Interbase / Firebird, Postgres, MS SQL and Sybase ASE (if you have FPC 2.6.1+), Oracle servers. See [[Install Packages]] for help on installing packages. | |
