Sourcecode of database applications

Hi everybody,

as I am pretty new to Delphi and databases, I was wondering why there
are so rare sourcecodes of database applications. I am looking for
small examples, like a phone or address database in Delphi.
The examples which come with the Delphi package aren't very helpful.
Often Delphi database books only show tricks, but not the rest. Does
anybody have an idea? Thanx.

Tschau, Oli.

Most of the database operations are accommodated by calls to methods built
into the database, dataset, and data control classes. This leaves little
real need for source code in simpler applications. There are situations
that require additional code to implement some specific action. Questions
on these very specific topics should be asked here in the newsgroup and can
be answered on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the context
of the question to the application.

In general, though, you will find the lion's share of database source
examples in the Database Developer's Guide section of the online help. In
the table of contents, navigate to the topic title "Developing Database
Applications." All topics contained in this section pertain to database
programming (and there are a *lot* of topics).
