Zeoslib Portal

Jotiwoken, I use mysql 5.0 commercially with Delphi and Free Pascal. Zeos didn't and still doesn't support Mysql 4.1 or 5.0 natively, plus you can see some of this date issues. For this, using zeos as a starting base, I completely created a new API, closely based on PHP's Data Objects API. It suppor...

zippo: if by palette, you are talking about installed components then the answer is yes because PDO is not available as a component. It's just a unit that you include with your program. If you download PDO you will see some sample programs written in delphi and Free Pascal, so it should be clear how...

I think your definition of "support" and mine are different. When I think of Mysql v5 support, I think of native implementation of prepared procedures, stored procedures, multiple returned rowsets, and triggers. The last time I checked, zeoslib did not support any of that. Yes, you can get...

Thanks, I'll take a look and likely update via subversion.


added: Okay, I made your suggested changes verbatim, and now they are available as revision 8. Thanks again for the feedback.

The zeos-derivative Pascal Data Objects ( http://seegernet.koolhost.de/zeosforum/viewtopic.php?p=1714#1714 ) doesn't suffer from this internal slowness. It uses only the mysql native calls, meaning it can return the entire rowset and the number of rows in the result set (as opposed to leaving on the...

Helmut, Ok, it's done. I have spent most of the weekend fully documenting the interface on a Trac wiki. When you see the contents of the wiki, you will understand. The new home of "Pascal Data Objects" is https://trac.synsport.com:8000/index.php/pdo/wiki Unfortunately you have to get throu...

Helmut, that was a great tip! Since my last post, I was successful in compiling and executing PDO on FreeBSD, so I went to bed happy (I'm in the same timezone as you here in Holland). However, the executable was a whopping 1226kb. After running "strip" on it, the executable reduced to 571k...

I have my own SVN server, so that's not necessary, thanks. I'm not quite ready to check anything in because I'm still testing it, especially with FPC. I just got it compiling without errors or warnings, and its running under FPC 2.0.2 (finally!). I hate how big the FPC executables are, about 5x the ...

Thanks, I just discovered on my own about the range checking trick, (FPC Bug 4510). Developers attempted fix in early january, but it's not been worked on since, very frustrating. Wasted several more hours on that last night, but I'm on track to get this working for FPC. I think you can definitely b...

The code has been working very well, and I'm very productive using it. I'm still shaking out some minor things, but I've already used it extensively with great success. I'm also in the process of testing it with FPC. That didn't go well last night, unfortunately. I found what I think is a bug in FPC...

I solved this problem, but I had to build my own mysql 5.0 driver, and in doing so, ended up building a whole new wrapper. http://seegernet.koolhost.de/zeosforum/viewtopic.php?t=397 Regardless of what is said above, mysql 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0 all need separate DLL's. The DLL's provided with zeos are ol...

I choose to upgrade my production server from MySQL 4.0 to MySQL 4.1 specifically because I needed prepared statements now, and maybe subqueries in the future, so I was none too pleased to discover than Zeos 6.5.1 uses emulated prepared statements for MySQL 4.1. Worse, when I dug into the 4.1 driver...

I also think this library has untapped potential and would like to see it progress (at least to the point that I can get it installed!)

anyway, nov/dec are generally slow months due to traditional holidays -- I expect that's the main reason.

Okay, here's the update.

I removed the entire CVS repository and reinstalled zeros_rework branch. I then applied the patch.

I got the same exact error page that I posted before. I'm not sure why this isn't working for me, because I'm following all the instructions

I work with Subversion, this is the first CVS project I've every used. Does the CVS client (CVSTortoise) not get the latest files automatically? I assumed if I "update repository" I automatically get the latest files. I not, I'm glad my own projects are on subversion, because CVS seems ter...
