Delphi XE和SQL Server 2008表达连接

Question

How can I connect Delphi and SQL Server 2008?

I found on the internet a tutorial teaching how to use SQLConnection.

The problem is that Delphi doesn't give me an option to select MSSQL, only Interbase/Firebird and MySql.

Is there any driver missing?

I know we can use a component like Devart but I just want to use what Delphi XE offers.

If you have Delphi XE Architect or Enterprise, you should be able to connect with TSQLConnection . Since you don't see that, I'm guessing you have the Professional SKU.

You can use ADO via TADOConnection , TADOCommand and TADOQuery to work with SQL Server in XE Pro. You'll find them on the dbGo tab in the component palette.
