TNestedTable Class

TNestedTable encapsulates a dataset that is nested as a field within another table.

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

DBTables

Use TNestedTable to access data contained in a nested dataset. A nested table inherits BDE functionality from TBDEDataSet and so uses the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to access the nested table data. A nested table provides much of the functionality of a table component, except that the data it accesses is stored in a nested table.

Note: TNestedTable is used only for dataset fields in tables that have a BDE driver (such as Oracle8 tables). For example, detail sets nested in a client dataset use another client dataset instead.
