Reading details from BDE Alias and ODBC connections

[StevenK]

Can anyone provide me with a simple code example of how I might be able to read values from BDE Alias's and ODBC connections set up on a PC ?
Having read the information from a BDE alias how wise is it for me to modify values (i.e. a path or connection criteria) ?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Hi Steve!

You should use 'Params' parameter of TDatabase object.
This is a TString parameter. You can read and write parameters of BDE aliases with it.

For example:
------------
Database1.Connected := True;
Edit1.Text:= Database1.Params.Values['PATH'];
