Is it possible to create a use TClientDataSet in non visual unit or Inside an Class Object?

Is it possible to create and use a TClientDataSet inside an Object at runtime?

I like to make several changes in my Table and have those all Applied at the same time in cache like way, and TClientDataSet lets me do that. Know when I want to do this I have to build a TForm.

Is it Possible?

UPDATE

Can it be used, and How, without TDataSetProvider, and no TSQLQuery ? Because I tried it and it gave me an error no Provider!!

Solution

  • Components are just classes, and you can use them likewise:

    procedure TMyObject.DoSomeDBStuff;
var
  localClientDataset: TClientDataset;
begin
  localClientDataset := TClientDataset.Create( );
  try

  finally
    localClientDataset.Free;
  end;
end;

    You can also make a clientdataset-property if you like:

    type
  TMyObject = class
  private
    FClientDB: TClientDataset;
  published
    property Dataset: TClientDataset read FClientDB;
  end;

    Some visual components may require a visual parent though, but for TClientDataset there should be no such requirement.
