Hi All,

I want to create a custom query component, which wraps a SDK ( Accounting
Package ). I want to be able to type in the query and have it parsed so that
I know which SDK call to use to return the data to the query. What base
class should I use to inherit this component from, I don`t want to do most
of the query functionality again ( Reinvent the Wheel )???

Thanks in Advance
Bennie

None of the database access libraries that come with Delphi (ADO, DBX, BDE)
actually have any real query capability in them; they leave it for the
"other side" to deal with.

Having said that, my suggestion is that you look into writing an ODBC or OLE
DB driver instead.

Cheers,
Ignacio

Thanks for the Advise Ignacio, where would I find a sample on how to write
a ODBC driver? ( I haven`t tried writing a ODBC driver)?

The definitive source for writing both ODBC and OLE DB drivers if
Microsoft's Platform SDK:

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/

Look in the documentation under Data ServicesMDAC SDK and for the samples
in $(PSDK)Samplesdataaccess.

Cheers,
Ignacio

or a TDataSet descendant that supports filters. That might be simpler.
