To get back on topic:

Quite a number of Lazarus components are not designed as a toolkit to serve
a wide range of programmer needs. It is clear that a number of them are
developed for the programmers own needs. Even if they are capable enough to
serve your needs, those features may not be well documented.

They turn out to be 'useful enough' for many others and are included in the
Lazarus package.

If sqldb cannot serve your needs, or that aspect is not well documented or
lacks examples, try zeoslib. I have used zeoslib, which has been around for
a long time, and I suspect it will be capable of what you want.

PS. You can also check the forum for more sqldb examples.
