- Quick Data Base - QDB v.2.10
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- VCL Components for Delphi 1, 2 & 3

- Overview
- ~~~~~~~~
- The zip file containing the file you are reading (addbook.zip) holds a
- demonstration of QDB in action - a simple address book application showing
- QDB's ability to save and retrieve textual information. It comes with a
- very small sample database (add_book.qdb).
-
- This demo shows how to save variable-size items of data most economically
- using QDB directly. The more sophisticated address book demo (in
- vaddbook.zip) uses the TQDBView component to automate the storage of
- items.
-
- You are free to use and modify this demonstration application as you wish
- but you may make no profit from its sale unless you have modified it
- extensively (say, more than 50% new code). If you do improve its
- functionality I'd like you to send me a copy.
-
-
- Files
- ~~~~~
- The zip file addbook.zip contains the following files
-
- add_book.qdb the sample address book
- ab_main.dfm the main form
- ab_main.pas the main unit
- add_book.dpr the project file
- read_me.txt this file
-
-
- Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Unzip the demo wherever you like. The QDB components should be installed
- before you try to compile the demo. The files for the demo should all be
- in one directory.
-
-
- Distribution
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- QDB was written for fun as well as utility so I am glad to make these VCL
- components available free of charge. It should be understood that,
- although I have attempted to test them thoroughly, they may cause some
- damage - directly or indirectly - for which I can take no responsibility.
- Use these components with pleasure but use them at your own risk.
-
- If you like them, have anything to say about them, or just want to make
- contact you can find me at:
