Using Data-Aware Components with DOA

[scribe]

I am trying to connect a TDBGrid to TOracleDataSet. At design time, I want to select the source but the TOracleDataSet component never shows up. Once I added a TDataSet and set it's DataSet Source value to the TOracleDataSet, I was able to view the data.

My questions are :

1) Is there a more direct way to do this?
2) Under my current config, is the BDE involved in any way?

It just seems that the TOracleDataSet should replace TDataSet.

The TOracleDataSet is a TDataSet descendant, just like a TQuery or TTable. Must data-aware controls connect to a TDataSource though, which in tun can be connected to a TDataSet descendant. That's just the way it works.

Thanks for the reply. The more I thought about the relationship, the more it made sense.
