Currently I'm storing table definitions, triggers etc in a TglStringContainer component so that I can create tables at runtime if needed and it just occurred to me that if you added a stringlist to the TEDBTable component I could store the table definition with the table.

I know that for those paranoid about their table structures this wouldn't be acceptable but I happen to like it.

Roy,

Why don't you simply use our extensions/designer and be done with it
All the SQL generation, storing table structure, etc.

This suggestion is really quite strange, actually - TEDBTable component
represents a cursor - it has little to do with table's structure...
Other then that, it would probably take 20 minutes to design a component
with collection of named TStrings - you could do that and become a
proud component vendor Show some compassion to Tim

Regards,
Michael

I already use such a component from Globus. I just thought it would be nice to stick it all in the same place. But I shall quite understand if Tim tells me to go and boil my head

Tim,
    You should try haggis. It will put hair on your chest (if you
survive)! Just don't ask what's in it.

If I remember correctly, isn't it the stomach (of something) stuffed with
all sorts of other internal organs ground up into a sausage-like concoction
?

The late comedian and actor W.C. Fields used to have a line that went,
"People who hate women, children and dogs can't be all bad." Guess he could
have added "and people who eat haggis."

(Himself having just finished my corned beef dinner, thank you very much.)

I hope you haven't just eaten, I've listed the ingredients below.
I ate my haggis after having a few drinks on a dare. It tasted pretty
good because I didn't know what was in it at the time. Haggis tasted
much better than escargot which tasted like chewing on a piece of rubber
and was hard to swallow. Unfortunately I had a full plate of them and no
amount of alcohol made it palatable.

From Wikipedia:
Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish. Although there are many recipes,
it is normally made with the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck'
(heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and
salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach
for approximately an hour. It somewhat resembles stuffed intestines (pig
intestines otherwise known as chitterlings), sausages and savoury
puddings of which it is among the largest types.

Dave,

<< I hope you haven't just eaten, I've listed the ingredients below. >>

Yep, just as I thought - disgusting.

Tim, and all you other Sassenachs, you're just talking plain rubbish!

My French wife first tried "Haggis'n'neeps" (mashed neeps in this
particular case - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga ), complete
with mashed Scottish potatoes and lots of thick gravy, when visiting
Scotland in the early 70's. She loved it, and along with Chicken'n'leek
pie, Roast Beef'n'Yorkshire Pudding, Apple Crumble'n'Vanilla ice-cream,
etc, regards it as one of the "crème de la crème" of British "Haute
Cuisine" - so there !
