Oh FireDAC is no longer available for Professional version either? Geez.. really not going to lay down $3k for an EE.

How is that "professional" if you cannot even read/write to sqlite.



Both Professional and Community Edition include FireDAC.

https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/product-editions

"Build database apps with local/embedded connectivity" is in every edition.

The only difference is you need Enterprise or Architect to connect to "Enterprise class" databases like a remote Oracle server.


unfortunately "Enterprise DBs" means also Postgresql, Mysql, SQL Server etc. (anything Client/Server)

you can probably just use another Framework like (free) ZeosDB (http://zeoslib.sourceforge.net/)

or some paid ones e.g. from Devart (https://www.devart.com/dac.html)

but still, its frustrating to have to use something else for such basic functionality ...


Ah ok, it doesn't mention FireDAC, fair enough. At least you can save data in a database.

Thanks for the correction.


@fmxexpress thanks for the info. That's exactly what I am doing now, but I am not on the latest version.


This is incorrect. I have Pro. I use FireDAC. SQLite can be used with Pro.
