Description

TCustomBufDataset is a TDBDataset descendant that implements the ancestor class for a database-aware buffered dataset. TCustomBufDataset is an in-memory dataset that can be used as a local stand-alone dataset, or it can be used as a local buffer for updates applied to a remote dataset. TCustomBufDataset implements many features similar to those in TClientDataset in Delphi. However, it is not meant to be code or function compatible with TClientDataset. It is designed to provide management of the buffers used to access record data, and is used as the ancestor for classes like TSQLQuery and TRESTBufDataset.

As a TDBDataset descendant, it offers access to many of the database features supported in the FCL DB package. As a TDataset descendant, it also offers access to familiar navigation and data handling methods in the ancestor class. TCustomBufDataset has features that allow local storage and retrieval of field definitions and record data. In addition, facilities are provided that allow local indexing of record data in the dataset. There is a comprehensive parser/expression evaluator available that allows complete support for Filters in the dataset.

Do not create instances of TCustomBufDataset. Use the TBufDataset descendant instead.

Additional information about using TBufDataset can be found on the Lazarus Wiki at: How to write in-memory database applications in Lazarus/FPC (TBufDataset).
