This package contains data dictionary support for the Lazarus IDE.
When installed in the IDE, several things happen:
- A 'Data Dictionary' item appears under the 'Project' menu.
This has a submenu with 3 items:
+ 'Set...'
This will set the data dictionary for the current application
+ 'Open'
This will open the selected data dictionary in the database desktop.
+ 'Configure'
This will show the data dictionary configuration dialog:
- It allows one to set the path where data dictionaries are stored
- It allows one to select the location of the database desktop
- A 'Database desktop' menu item is registered under 'Tools'. It will start
the 'database desktop'.
- A context menu item is created in the Form Designer: 'Data Dictionary'
with 3 items:
- Apply DD. This will apply the data dictionary to all selected datasets.
- Edit SQL. Starts a visual Query editor with tables from the data
dictionary. (to be implemented)
- Create code: allows one to create Object Pascal code based on the TDataset.
- Create a SQL constant (only if a SQL property is found)
- Create code to create a DBF file with the same structure as the dataset.
- Create a class and code to load this class from the dataset.
- Create a TiOPF class and visitors to load the class from the dataset.
(see fcl-db/src/codegen for more information)
The code generator component is registered on the component palette, under
"Data Access"
This needs a recent version of FPC (rev. 9389 or higher) to compile.
Enjoy!
