Creating Database Components at Design Time

Go Up to Persistent and Temporary Database Components

The InterBase page of the Tool Palette contains a database component you can place in a data module or form. The main advantages to creating a database component at design time are that you can set its initial properties and write OnLogin events for it. OnLogin offers you a chance to customize the handling of security on a database server when a database component first connects to the server. For more information about managing connection properties, see Connecting to a Database Server. For more information about server security, see Controlling Server Login.
