When used as a VCL For PHP component, PlatinumGrid fully supports the VCL For PHP's database access components, allowing you to use any database engine supported by the VCL For PHP.

When used as a PHP class in a VCL-less PHP application, PlatinumGrid can be integrated into the application's database by connecting it via a set of classes that you define. Complete documentation on defining these classes is available in the help file, complete with a step-by-step tutorial.
