I'm using Delphi 7, totally new to database programming, and need ODBC. I am told that ADOExpress is a good way to go, and that seems fair enough as it comes with Delphi 7.

I need to programatically create, populate, modify and query a database (currently MySql, but that might change, hence ODBC). Can anyone recommend a good tutorial? Thanks.

Inside the links, there is a nice tutorial called **A Beginner's Guide to Delphi Database Programming** : ... This course focuses on the most common uses of ADO in a Delphi application.I think I will also read it :)http://delphi.about.com/od/database/a/databasecourse.htm

It's called doGo for ADO now by the way, and covered as one of the data access technologies in my http://www.lulu.com/product/2673262 paperback for example.

Well, the original Embarcadero documentation may be interesting too :)

The Delphi 2010 Online Documentation, dbGo/ADO topics: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Working_with_ADO_components_Index

... and the Delphi 7 PDF Documentation, look there for dbGo/ADO topics:http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphi7/D7_DevelopersGuide.pdf
