Hi all,
I'm new here. In fact, I used to be a .NET developer for to many years, and now I should get into Delphi and FireBird.
In order to achieve this, I download the RAD Studio 10.2.1 trial version and installed it on my home machine. The trial period should be enough to learn the basics and figure out how the things are running in Delphi, the syntax and, of course, how to connect and manipulate data in a database. In this case, the company is using FireBird.
After the installation, I found that a bunch of nice application samples were also installed. Nice indeed. I tried to run them all, but some of them couldn't be started, due some missing libraries.
After some thought exchange with my colleagues, I got the reason why: it lacks the FireDac for FireBird. Ok. So... uninstall everything and reinstall... something went wrong in the first time. Some problem.
Therefore, I realize that the FireDac isn't part of the trial version. As the rest of the company is using it a lot, it is supposed that I learn the maximum possible on every platform they are using, and that includes FireDac.
So... I'm asking... It is real that the firedac doesn't come with the trial version of the RAD Studio? Is there any way for me to install it for a kind of a trial period so I could learn the maximum about it?
Many thanks in advance for all the time spent and information that you can send me.
All the best,
Artur
