Implementation
The main functionality of the project is implemented on dmAdmin where the FireDAC components are placed. It uses TFDPhysIBDriverLink and TFDGUIxWaitCursor to connect to the InterBase server.
The sample uses a TFDMemTable from dmAdmin to display the table with the InterBase server users on the TStringGrid of the main form.
The TOpenDialog component is used to open a dialog to select the paths on the admin tasks filtering the InterBase Backups: *.ibk
.
