Databases in Delphi - Connecting to a database using code

We have a video that explains how to connect to a database from the Delphi environment. This video follows the same process except we create the connection dynamically by using code. Part of the Grade 11 CAPS syllabus for Information Technology.

wow, its the best video.
Q: how to use OOP with database?

[staceyadams]

Nice and clear. I like how you explain why you do what you do. I only wish you used consistent, recommended code indentation practices. It makes code more readable, and given that you are influencing a whole new generation of Delphi coders, it would be nice for them to start off using generally accepted code formatting standards (e.g., contents within begin/end code blocks should be indented).
