[lazarus] TDataset ready and tested !!

[Shane Miller]

I am assuming that a TDatabase component is already there?  
What units are these coded in?  I'd like to look at the implementation when I test them.......

I was wondering if you would notice.
As an eye catcher it seems to have worked :-)

I really hope so. I read somewhere that a survey by Inprise (not the one
on linux) showed that 95% of programming is connected with Databases in
some way, and so support for it is very important IMHO.

I also think that CGI programming will be very easy with this; till now
it was cumbersome to use the C interface to mysql, but with this,
programming complex forms in CGI which do data access should be a breeze.
