Advantage TDataSet Descendant
TAdsDictionary is a component that provides administrative access to an Advantage Data Dictionary. The majority of the functionality this component provides can be retrieved in an easier fashion through the use of the system tables (system.dictionary, system.tables, etc.) and canned stored procedures (sp_ModifyDatabase, sp_ModifyTableProperty, etc).
The TAdsDictionary component is not part of the Advantage Delphi for .NET components. If using a .NET environment, see the system tables and canned stored procedure links above.
