Using Temporary Database Components

Go Up to Persistent and Temporary Database Components

Temporary database components are automatically generated as needed. For example, if you place a TIBTable component on a form, set its properties, and open the table without first placing and setting up a TIBDatabase component and associating the table component with it, Delphi creates a temporary database component for you behind the scenes.

The default properties created for temporary database components provide reasonable, general behaviors meant to cover a wide variety of situations. For complex, mission-critical client/server applications with many users and different requirements for database connections, however, you should create your own database components to tune each database connection to your application’s needs.
