Besides the basic geographic data, TGeoDB provides the capability to store arbitrary binary data (BLOBs) along with the database entries, thus allowing to include any form of user data. For more details please visit the online help pages.
The component TGeoDB is part of the GeoPack.
| GeoData |  Shows how to read and write data of the geo database (unit GEODB). The data of the database (Austrian border and several cities) is displayed using an RCHART. You may pan the map, and zoom in and out. Sources of the sample program are included (Delphi 6). |
