Zeoslib Portal

Cool! when I said older Delphi, I meant pre-unicode ones, mainly because I'm hooked to D2007. My employer has no interest in purchase a new version, so I have to work with what we have. It's good to know that you'll try to keep compatibility. IMHO, ZeosLib is by far better than the database componen...

I'm wondering when a stable release will be available. Also, if we can have a list of improvements over 6.x series. Honestly, I'm still developing with delphi 2007 + ZeosLib 6.6.6 a combination I found very stable and reliable. I use it with Mysql, SQLite and some ADO too. Edit: Any chance it will k...

Absolute Database is an embeded database. There's a bunch of components that allow to use that database from your delphi app. Unless you build your own exporter to some kind of standar text file, I doubt you'll be able to import data to any zeoslib supported database. Edit: May I suggest to use SQLi...

I tried MariaDB with the stable ZeosLib 6.6.6 release, using Delphi 7 and 2007 and it worked as supposed to do. But I didn't make any stress test, I just drop the binaries over my MySql installation just to test if it works and it did. I was able to retrieve, update, insert and delete rows as it doe...

Sorry, never done that. Only played with phpbb 3.xx on local setup, just to know the basics about forums.

There's a new phpbb version, why don't you upgrade it? maybe you can fix all the troubles with unexpected hack message and that spam button requirement. Just my opinion.

From what you tell us, I'm sure you have a mix of versions in the path. You must search your entire harddisk for libmysql.dll and be sure to keep only the newer (replacing the older with the newer in the same place you found the older).

To be honest I never used it, maybe I too was missing something (never had a trouble until now). If you check the SVN repository you may found it, but it's not an easier task, you need to build it by yourself from the components themself. In the other hand, some properties are similar to the ones fo...

You don't need a fieldbynumber function, just use .fields[index] attribute where index is a variable, constant or just a number.

I think you can look into Delphi's bin folder (%programfiles%\borland\delphi?\bin) for that bpl, also you may need some other bpl too. Copy them to the same folder of your app. Try to run your app, if anything else is needed, you'll get an error dialog telling you what's missing.

Maybe you are a dll hells' victim. In some Delphi 7 installation there is a very old libmysql.dll installed. I remember to have a similar trouble long time ago. Everything was ok, except that when trying to connect to database from IDE or my app, there always was an exception failure. I found that t...

I think that even if not supported by Zeoslib, you can still use that kind of specific commands through a zquery, don't you?

Don't know, never used Firebird before.

As long as I know that kind of operation depends on the engine features. For example in SQLite you have vacuum that remove unused space. I think that you need to take a look into the firebird sql dialect to find an equivalent. Take in mind that there's no guarantee to have one.

can you post your code snippet? otherwise it's very hard to help you.
