BDE alias info

Answer:

The following function uses the GetAliasParams method of TSession to get the 
directory mapping for an alias:

1   uses DbiProcs, DBiTypes;
2   
3   function GetDataBaseDir(const Alias: string): string;
4   {* Will return the directory of the database given the alias
5     (without trailing backslash) *}
6   var
7     sp: PChar;
8     Res: pDBDesc;
9   begin
10    try
11      New(Res);
12      sp := StrAlloc(length(Alias) + 1);
13      StrPCopy(sp, Alias);
14      if DbiGetDatabaseDesc(sp, Res) = 0 then
15        Result := StrPas(Res^.szPhyName)
16      else
17        Result := '';
18    finally
19      StrDispose(sp);
20      Dispose(Res);
21    end;
22  end;
