Zeoslib Portal

Does ZeosDBO work with ClientDatasets? Does it have an IProvider interface?

I am not quite familiar with ClientDatasets, but can any Dataset component be used with a ClientDataset?

Zeoslib is compatible, provided you use the most recent Testing snapshots (http://zeosdownloads.firmos.at/downloads/snapshots). We recently had to fix a serious bug.

This link (http://downloads.firmos.at/downloads/snapshots) isn't ok.


The bug that you said are 43 and 59???


Because I have a problem with Master/Detail that I can't solve.




Diego.

Sorry... Forgot to add 'zeos' --> http://zeosdownloads.firmos.at/downloads/snapshots

You've found the right bugs...

Mark

Excellent. Very Good.


Now, what have I update in my pc??


Thank,


Diego.

The only thing you have to do is install the newest version the way you install every zeoslib version.
0. Uninstall and clean eventual old versions of zeoslib (bpl, dcu,...)
1. Unpack
2. Compile the packages for your compiler (packages directory)
3. Install ComponentDesign Package in your IDE. If this doesn't exists for your compiler (eg. Lazarus, D5) install the Components Package.
4. Use the components as you would use the native Delphi components.

how are you doing mdaems??

Please can you explain how I can to make step by step the master/detail relationship using clientdatasets and zquerys??

Can I use aggregate fields and calculated fields??

I'm using Postgresql 8.2.4, Delphi 7 and windows xp.

thanks !!

I'm very sorry, but I can't do that. The first time I used these components was while debugging the bug reports mentionned above. There are small sample programs in the bug reports, however. (And if I was able to debug it, they can't have been difficult to understand )
So unless somebody else can give you more information, just start with the Delphi 7 Documentation and repace TQuery by TZQuery. It should just work. (Only difference is you'll also need a TZConnection component to link your queries to)
Read the 'Developing Database Applications' Help. (Chapters 'Using ClientDatasets' and 'Using Provider components', I think)

I already downloaded, but now what have I to install??

Hi Diego,

Just compile and install the packages in your IDE as described above...

Hi mdaems,

I understood, but the link (http://zeosdownloads.firmos.at/downloads/snapshots) contains the following files:

ZEOSLIB_TESTING_REV305.zip 28-Oct-2007 13:42 13M
ZEOSLIB_TESTING_REV305_COMPACT.zip 28-Oct-2007 13:30 2.0M
ZEOSLIB_TESTING_REV309.zip 07-Nov-2007 14:59 13M
ZEOSLIB_TESTING_REV309_COMPACT.zip 07-Nov-2007 14:38 2.0M
ZEOSLIB_TRUNK_REV306.zip 28-Oct-2007 22:34 13M
ZEOSLIB_TRUNK_REV310.zip 07-Nov-2007 14:54 13M


Which of them have I to install??


Thank very much...

Testing branch= 'experimental' (but the latest patches are there)
Trunk = the version that moves to next release. As stable as possible.
The ClientDataset patches are already in trunk, so use trunk version unless you want to follow development as close as possible. The higher the revision number the more recent.
Compact version : contains only packages and sources. Mainly for upgrading, but contains all necessary stuff for using zeoslib.
Conclusion : ZEOSLIB_TRUNK_REV310

Mark

That funny.

I did what you said, but it didn't work.

1. Uninstall ZeosLib and clean old version.
2. Install ZEOSLIB_TRUNK_REV310
3. Make a example of Master/Detail


Master:
ZQuery -> DataSetProvider -> ClientDataSet -> DataSource

Link:
DataSource

Detail:
ZQuery -> ClientDataSet -> DataSource



I'm upset....
