Description

Make TClientDataset a pure Delphi object, so that it doesn't use any external database driver.

That will enable it to be freely extended, particularly when loading and saving. For example, it would be very useful to be able to save all of a field's properties, rather than the limited selection in FieldDefs. Another use would be to be able to attach and save with the dataset a value-list associated with a lookup field.

Steps to Reproduce:

None

Agreed. If the JEDI people can implement an in-memory dataset in pure Delphi code, surely CodeGear can too.

This would be nice to have.
