Zeoslib Portal

I am using ZeosDBO and want to set it up on a Linux System so that it is usable by all users. Currently it is just set up in my home directory. The plan is to make a deb and or a rpm file and then to publish it. What Directory should it technically go in? How should it be set it up so that it is usa...

My apology, Postrgre library does work. My install was messed up. I would like MySQL working though. Postgre is harder to config & to use and is overkill for personal databases. It is better suited to mission critical situations and is not really needed in home computing environment.

I have an app written in Lazarus using Zeos to access a MySQL Database. When I switched to 64bit computers, my app no longer works. MySQL 5.1 came out in 2007, we are in the third quarter 2011. Why does Zeosdbo not have a 5.1 connector yet. 64 Bit Computers are now the standard, with 32 bit computer...

I can't seem to get Zeos to connect to MySql 5.1.x or PostgreSql 8.4 on any of my 64bit Distros using Lazarus. Also is there some trick to get Lazarus 0.9.30 to compile v 7.0 of Zeos?

Thanks, TH

I tried installing 7.0 on my Mint System. It won't connect to the server. Yes I am using 5.1 of mysql. Zeos 6.6.6 won't connect, I thought based on your message you could get 7.0 to connect. I guess I was overly optimistic. By the way Lazarus 9.30 won't even compile Zeos 7.

I heard there is a patch to allow zeosdbo connect to 64 bit mysql servers. Where will I find it?

I don't know what ZDbcCache is or where I make these changes. In ZDbcCache : TZRowBuffer = packed record Index: SizeInt; UpdateType: TZRowUpdateType; BookmarkFlag: Byte; Columns: TByteArray; end; In ZAbstractRODataset : Index of TZRowBuffer must be 64 bits compliant Setting Index forcing the integer...

What steps do I have to do to get a Lazarus/Zeos app to run on a Linux 64 box?

I am currently running FC14-64. The app runs on my 32 bit FC-12 laptop.

Thx, Terry

I had tried that & it wasn't working either. I haven't tried it under Windows yet, but on Linux/Lazarus it does appear to be broken.

I am using Lazarus 0.9.28.2 on a Fedora 12 System. MySQL version 5.1.47. I have a table with a date field in it which I am unable to update using a tDBEdit. No matter what date format I try to use it seems to fail. This has become an irritant and is forcing me to run a query to convert a string repr...

I guess the Zeos Source files also have to be in the path. Sorry for the trouble.

Lets try this again: I have tried installing ZeosDBO using both Lazarus 09.28 & 09.29 I uncompressed the Zeos 6.6.6 into a directory on my home account. Then from root I started Lazarus. From Lazarus I went to the main menu Package->Open Package File. From there I selected /home/user/ZeosDir/Pac...

No, it said I already had it, I upgraded it anyway. I then retried my test which failed as previously described. Is there a way to test what paths the compiler sees. I have run a test to see if /usr/lib/mysql is in my path, which it is. But in the past I noted that Lazarus doesn't seem to have the s...

I have Lazarus 0.9.29 installed on a Fedora Core 12 Laptop, with Zeos 6.6.6 installed. What do I need to do to connect to a MySQL 5.1 Server? I have gone in and added “/usr/lib/mysql to my path. I have dropped a Zconnection on my form and set values for Database, user, & password. I then set pro...
