TCustomOracleDataset

[planas]

Hello

In the VCL, a lot of components (like TMemo) inherits from a TCustom class (like TCustomMemo).
Why : because, the properties are not published in TCustomMemo and they are published in TMemo.

I think it could be a good idea to do the same, in TOracleDataset. A TCustomOracleDataset allow you to not publih some properties.

We'll improve the inheritance possibilities in 4.0. The current design is certainly not optimal if you want to override or add to standard TOracleDataSet behavior.

Good idea. I'm also looking forward to get such 'custom' classes and to get a lot more methods in DOA classes protected (instead of private) and virtual.

At the moment we need to hack a lot in your code directly - not optimal!
