  Any reason to re-implement the tempbuffer? Or were you just using an
  older version?
 Please give me more datails (history) about tempbuffer.

Well, it was an empty procedure. But no-one had a clue where it was used
for. Probably it had something to do with some very old fpc-TDataset-
descendents. So it got removed.

But if you can find a reason to keep it there... Maybe that ZEOS uses
it? 

 I can look deeply into ZeosLib and find out why it needs tempbuffer. 
 Patch with constraints and tempbuffer is really not important.

 It seems that there are many delphi compatible components left that
 use tempbuffer. I have myself reintroduced this function instantly,
 becouse it is used in filtering/searching operations by my dataset
 component.
 Since this function  exists in delphi and it is used by some
 components, i see no reason not to have it in fpc.

Ok, forget my last message then, i'll re-implement it.

Do you also know what it should do?

Regards,
  Joost

Function TDataset.TempBuffer: PChar;

begin
  Result := FBuffers[FRecordCount];
end;

The result of this function is used in filtering/searching operations.

But relying in a function that does nothing / not implemented / acts 
different from Delphi can lead to problems.
