Description

Use TDatabase when a BDE-based database application requires any of the following control over a database connection:

Persistent database connections

Customized database server logins

Transaction control

Application-specific BDE aliases

TDatabase is especially important for the control it permits over database transaction processing with the BDE when connected to a remote SQL database server.

Note: Explicit declaration of a TDatabase component for each database connection in an application is optional if the application does not need to explicitly control that connection. If a TDatabase component is not explicitly declared and instantiated for a database connection, a temporary database component with a default set of properties is created for it at runtime.
