Hi Tim,

Here is just one example of missing examples in EDB help files (either
standalone, in D2007 or in PDF format). Especially for new users but also
for myself  it would be nice if these examples were included. One
example says more than a 1000 words... or something like that.

Populating Parameters with the TEDBQuery Component

You can use the TEDBQuery Params property to populate the parameters in an
SQL statement with data values. You may use two different methods of
populating parameters using the Params property:

  . By referencing each parameter by its index position in the available
list of parameters
  . By reference each parameter by name using the ParamByName method

The following is an example of using the index positions of the parameters
to populate the data values for an INSERT SQL statement:

The next block of code is an example of using the TEDBQuery ParamByName
method in order to populate the data values for a SELECT SQL statement:

Preparing Parameterized Queries

It is usually recommended that you manually prepare parameterized queries
that you intend to execute many times with different parameter values. This
can result in significant performance improvements since the process of
preparing a query can be time-consuming. The following is an example of
inserting 3 rows with different values using a manually-prepared,
parameterized query:

Okay, sorry about that.  When I switched our system over to using a build
server to improve the build times, it seems that the document generation was
messed up.  The examples are there, but they're getting filtered out.  I
will make sure that this is corrected immediately.

Hi Tim,

Thanks! And no need to apologize. Mistakes happen. And this one is not
causing any damage, so no harm done

Yeah, I found that out this week with all of the really nice comments that
we received in response to our emails, and I've got to say that it choked me
up a bit to see it "in writing".  We've definitely got one of the coolest
bunch of customers that a software vendor could ask for.
