- Params property. At design time, you can right click on a ClientDataSet and
- select "Fetch Params" to initialize the params from a TQuery or TStoredProc
- on the server. At run-time you can call TClientDataSet.FetchParams to
- initialize the params from the server. Or you can set the params up manually
- by adding them yourself.
