Deploying on Windows (FireDAC)
Go Up to Deploying (FireDAC)
To deploy a FireDAC application on a Win32 or Win64 machine, the following items should be considered:
- When an application uses persistent connection definitions, a connection definition file must be deployed. You may put it along with the application executable or set TFDCustomManager.ConnectionDefFileName to a file name.
- When an application uses driver definitions, a driver configuration file must be deployed. You may put it along with the application executable or set TFDCustomManager.DriverDefFileName to a file name.
- The DBMS clients required for application connectivity must be obtained from the vendors and installed on the deployment machine. When an application is built as x86, the x86 DBMS client software must be installed. The same applies for x64 applications. SQLite engine is statically linked into EXE and does not require a deployment.
- FireDAC Administrator (analogue to BDE Administrator)may be deployed to give the end-user a tool to manage FireDAC connection definitions. To deploy FireDAC Administrator one should deploy:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\bin\FDAdministrator.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\bin\FDExplorer.ini
- When a FireDAC application was built with the run-time packages, the following BPL files should be deployed. The BPLs are located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\Redist\<platform>
.- Mandatory packages:
FireDAC270.bpl
FireDACCommon270.bpl
FireDACCommonDriver270.bpl
- Optional packages, required when your application uses specific FireDAC drivers:
FireDACADSDriver270.bpl
FireDACASADriver270.bpl
FireDACDataSnapDriver270.bpl
FireDACDb2Driver270.bpl
FireDACIBDriver270.bpl
FireDACInfxDriver270.bpl
FireDACMSAccDriver270.bpl
FireDACMSSQLDriver270.bpl
FireDACMySQLDriver270.bpl
FireDACODBCDriver270.bpl
FireDACOracleDriver270.bpl
FireDACPgDriver270.bpl
FireDACSQLiteDriver270.bpl
FireDACTDataDriver270.bpl
FireDACTDBXDriver270.bpl
- Optional packages, required depending on whether your application is a FireMonkey or a VCL one:
vclFireDAC270.bpl
fmxFireDAC270.bpl
- Mandatory packages:
