Reminder to self: check out “Debugging helper for TDataSet” and “debugger TDataSetVisualizer” for Delphi
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/24
So I won’t forget to check these out:
- [WayBack] Debugging helper for TDataSet – twm’s blog by Thomas Müller
- [WayBack] TDataSetVisualizer: Delphi IDE Debug Visualizer to view a TDataSet descendant within a DBGrid. by Darian Miller
Via [WayBack] I like programming in Delphi, but I don’t particularly like writing applications that work with database backends… – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+ (thanks Stefan Glienke)
The first dumps a TDataSet to a file in a non-importable manner. The second does it for TDataSet instances that have a proper SaveToFile method which is available in the EXE and not eliminated by the linker. Examples of such methods:
- TCustomClientDataSet
- 2007 [WayBack] TCustomClientDataSet.SaveToFile / 2009 [WayBack] TCustomClientDataSet.SaveToFile
- 2007 [WayBack] TCustomClientDataSet.LoadFromFile / 2009 [WayBack] TCustomClientDataSet.LoadFromFile
- TCustomADODataSet
- 2007 [WayBack] TCustomADODataSet.SaveToFile / 2009 [WayBack] TCustomADODataSet.SaveToFile
- 2007 [WayBack] TCustomADODataSet.LoadFromFile / 2009 [WayBack] TCustomADODataSet.LoadFromFile
- TFDDataSet

How did I miss this?
CodeSiteDBTools are great, but a dataset debug visualiser? Outstanding!
