[Lazarus] Connecting to a Postgres Database

[Jalal]

Yes, you need the client libraries to connect to the PostgreSQL database server.

The PostgreSQL database access provided by the FreePascal team depends on the client libraries ( libpq and related ) supplied by the PostgreSQL team.

If you don't have them already from another PostgreSQL download you might consider pgAdmin, a nice administration tool which includes these DLLs too.

Subject: [Lazarus] Connecting to a Postgres Database

 Hi,

I'm using a windows machine (XP) running my app written with Lazarus
and trying to connect to a Postgres Server.

Whenever I turn the Connected field on my PQConnection component, I
get an error saying that it cannot find PostgreSQL client and
referencing libpq.dll.

Does anyone know what's happening?

Do I need a client to start the connection with the server?
