ZEOS 7.0 (sf, december) requiring mysql designtime? [solved]

Post by marcov »

I tried to modify the zcontrolsexample to work with an own database layout (on postgres 8.x), and when editing the keyfieldname of the dbdepartment combo, I got exceptions that mysql.dll couldn't be found (designtime!)

But I use postgres, so it is logical that mysql can't be found? Do I have to set what database to use designtime somewhere?

I'm still only in the exploring stages of zeos (and even designtime database use in general, always manually instantiated everything before), so if this is a faq, I'm sorry.


Additional data:
- D2009 with all updates
- server is postgres 8.3.11 on Fedora 11/x86
- client is Windows 7/x86

To answer my own dumb question: database type in zconnection. Apparantly that is used for designtime even if not active.

How it figures out the password for the connection, I still don't understand.
It probably takes an open connection from pgedit.
