Learn how to link a VCL form to SQL Server with FireDAC, run a parameterized query, and show results in a grid while handling errors and cleaning up resources.
Learn how RAD Studio’s LiveBindings Designer lets you bind VCL/FireMonkey controls to datasets visually, cutting boilerplate code while keeping full two‑way data sync.
Learn how LiveBindings lets you declaratively sync TEdit, TLabel and other controls with data model properties, cutting manual event‑handler code.
Learn how to use FireDAC's TFDQuery FetchOptions to implement on-demand pagination, reducing memory overhead and preventing application crashes when handling large datasets in RAD Studio.
Learn how to combine a bundled base FireMonkey style with platform‑specific overlays at runtime to keep a consistent brand while respecting each OS’s UI conventions.
Project Options and Path Repeatability Maintaining a repeatable development environment in RAD Studio requires consistent search paths across multiple developer machines. While the IDE allows the definition of search paths within the .dproj file, the use of absolute paths often leads to build failures when the project is cloned to a different workstation whe
The Parallel Programming Library (PPL) in RAD Studio provides the ITask interface for background execution. While ITask.Cancel allows for the signaling of a task to stop, the worker thread must manually poll for this state to exit gracefully. A challenge arises when implementing strict timeouts for asynchronous operations. Because ITask does not include a na
I'm designing a schema migration strategy for a RAD Studio (Delphi) application that uses FireDAC against more than one target DBMS. The goal is a rollback-safe upgrade path when a schema change fails partway through. Two documented approaches seem viable. First, wrap the DDL in an explicit transaction using TFDConnection.StartTransaction / Commit / Rollback
