TBDEDataSet Class

Encapsulates Borland Database Engine (BDE) functionality for descendant dataset objects.

Pascal
TBDEDataSet = class(TDataSet);
C++
class TBDEDataSet : public TDataSet;

TBDEDataSet is a dataset object that defines BDE functionality for a dataset. Applications never use TBDEDataSet objects directly. Instead they use the descendants of TBDEDataSet and TDBDataSet, such as TQuery, TStoredProc, and TTable, which inherit its database-related properties and methods. 

Developers who create custom dataset components that work through the BDE may want to derive them directly from TBDEDataSet to inherit all the functionality of TDataSet and the BDE-related properties and methods of TBDEDataSet. To inherit control over database objects, however, most developers should derive custom dataset components that use the BDE from the immediate descendant of TBDEDataSet, TDBDataSet
