MushRoomsDatabase by Jurassic Pork using SQLite - January 2014
Updated for Firebird Embedded - August 2014
Features:
- Use SqlDb and lazreport components.
- Sqlite3 or Firebird embedded database DeadlyMushrooms with 5 mushrooms.
Sqlite3 will be tried first; if no Sqlite library is available, Firebird
embedded will be tried.
- It demonstrates:
- creating a new SQLite3 database with table if the db does not exist
- use of TSQLScript to run multiple SQL statements
- use of FBAdmin to restore Firebird backup (smaller than the live .fdb file)
on first run, useful for keeping your setup file small and compatible with
older Firebird versions
- The images are stored in blob field without extension at the beginning.
With this you can view blob images with database browser editor
(e.g. sqlite2009pro).
- In the database there is also a field with images links (filenames).
- The linked images are stored in the folder images of the project.
- You can see the linked images in a Timage.
- You can change the images in the database:
- for Tdbimage (image in db): double click on the component and choose your
image.
- for Timage (linked image): click on the button near the image filename
(you must be in edit mode).
- Transaction commits when you click on Tdbnavigator refresh button or on close
form.
- Small pictures of the mushrooms are in the sqlite3Database. Largest images are
in files in the folder images.
- Print button to print all the mushrooms (lazreport).
On each page you have:
- a title.
- the field common_name of the mushroom database.
- the field notes of the mushroom database.
- the field picture of the mushroom database (picture picture1).
- the picture of the field image_link (picture picture2).
The report name is Mushroom_Report.lrf
