I succeed install and use Zeos on Delphi, but failed on Lazarus (both on Linux and win32). I suggest Zeos team to test the package completely on Lazarus before release it officially. Since now Zeos officially supports Lazarus, the test should be done on Linux as well.

Zeos 6.6 is nicely working on Lazarus v.0.9.20 (beta). I found no major problems, from installation to usage. I'm not fully using and experiment with all Zeos' capabilities, though. So, perhaps there are some bugs or errors I might not find. For installation on Lazarus, I simply follow the normal pa...

Zeos 6.6 on Lazarus v.0.9.20 on winXP SP 2 works great! Never try it (yet) on Linux, though. Kudos to Zeos team for supporting Lazarus, the best alternative for Delphi. Keep up the good work.

Using daily snapshot (0.9.x where x is odd number) the installation is very simple and straight forward. These are steps that I did... - Just install Lazarus from the installer (.rpm or win installer) and follow its steps as usual. - After installation is done, open and compile ZeosDBO Lazarus packa...

Do we have to (always?) use snapshot of Lazarus to get Zeos working? What's the differences between FPC 2.0.2 and FPC 2.1.1 that could make Zeos not working? What are FPC features of FPC 2.1.1 needed to get Zeos working? I believe we can send patch or workaround to official FPC release so we can use...

My Lazarus v.0.9.14 (using FPC v.2.0.2) worked fine with the default installation. I just failed to install ZeosDBO package. But after I updated the FPC with v.2.1.1 snapshot (taken from ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v21/i386-win32/), Lazarus then failed to compile anything at all. The c...

Again... after I upgrade my Lazarus to the latest release v.0.9.14.1, I failed to install ZeosDBO package (for Lazarus). I really don't like this.

Barko, please tell me what I need to do to make Zeos got installed on this Lazarus version, which FPC/Lazarus files I need to patch? Thanks.

Yup... me too! I've see more and more Delphi programmers switching to Lazarus, as I did since the last 6 months. Though there's dbExpress in Delphi and sqlDB on Lazarus for multi-db connection component, these people are expecting Zeos as the main database connection component because Zeos is intero...

I'll also be glad if Zeos could support these RDBMSs: - mySQL (all versions) - Firebird/Interbase (remember, these two DBes will more and more different by the newer version) - PostgreSQL - MS SQL - Oracle - IBM DB2 We must admit, the first three DBs are the most popular on FLOSS community, but the ...

I really need Zeos support for IBM DB2 RDBMS. I've search the net, but found none efforts have been done.

I've test the zeos rework from barko's given URLs, and tried it working with date fields. Thankfully, I found no problem, both retrieving or updating. I've tested it with Firebird v.1.5.3 on WinXP only, though.

Yes, and No... date is ok if you only looking at it... but... if you change it, then is not ok. How come is this happen? Bug on date/time field is (very) critical, IMO, since almost every db on the world have date/time field. Is there already any workaround for this? Quick and dirty patch would be ...

Finally... I got Lazarus (v.0.9.13) and Zeos-rework (v.6.5.1) up and running! My great thank goes to Barko, Zeos team, FPC team, and Lazarus team. Keep up the good works, guys! :D BTW, I'd like to know what are new things on Lazarus 0.9.13 (and FPC v.2.0.3?). I tried to find somekind of "whatsn...

alright then... still downloading. thanks barko.

Is the latest snapshot had already solved bug as discuss here... http://seegernet.koolhost.de/zeosforum/ ... =1693#1693 ???
