Is it possible to use the tdatabase.params.values as the only congiguration
for logging onto to a database - ie not using either a system DSN or BDE
alias?

Im using the tdatabase, tquery and tprovider components to produce a COM
database connection object. Im tying the tquery object to the tdatabase object
by using the same databasename.

At current, I cna make it work if i use a system DSN (defined in the odbc
settings) or a bde alias but i cant get it to work just by supplying the
server, database name and driver name.

Anyone know of a solution to this?

Thanks in advance, Rhys.

Yes, it is possible -- at least for some configurations.  We have done
this with SqlServer using the native driver and our parameters looked
something like this:

SERVER NAME=MyServer
DATABASE NAME=MyDatabase

You might make sure that the parameters are spelled and cased correctly.
It seems to just silently ignore invalid parameters.

Hope this helps,
William
