How to attach files in Delphi?

Question

Delphi

We set the task to implement a program capable of collecting information into a database on a server (on a local network). The functionality of the program is not complicated, in fact it is the same phone book, there are fields of the table full name, number, name ... all this is clear. I chose Delphi because I once studied it at the institute, but I don’t know how to implement the file attachment function.
should look like this:
1. Ivanov Ivan / such and such a department / list of documents
i.e. the program should be like a search by full name, it's clear to me how to do it. But I don't know how to attach files! And I can't find an example. Before asking, I searched on the Internet, but I probably don’t know how to correctly compose a request

Answer 1

You definitely have a problem with the questions. It's completely unclear what you mean by "attach files in Delphi". If you try to guess, then perhaps you are designing a database in which in one of the tables one of the fields should store "file". If so, then a typical solution is to store files in a specific folder, and store a link to the file (path to the file) in the database in a regular string field. That's all.
If something else is meant, then try to explain more precisely.
