First of all you need to use Delphi build in Database components and choose which database you will use... after that you use Query and DataSource component...
Once you set up these you're ready to go...

you need a button and edit or (text box)

Query1.Close;{close the query}
Query1.SQL.Clear;
Query1.SQL.Add ('Select * from TABLE');
Query1.SQL.Add ('WHERE NAME = ''' + Edit1.Text + '''');
Query1.Open;

you also need to use the DBGrid where you will show the results.

Hope this is what you are asking.
