Zeoslib Portal

I´m trying to connect to a MySQL database in a Kylix 3 OE application using the ZEOS 6.1.5 components. My doubt is: i need the dbcontrols objects to be installed to do this? Or only with the ZEOS components i can connect to the server and send some simple querys (SELECT, UPDATE...)? I´m using the MySQL version 4.1...

Thank´s and excuse me if i wrote something wrong. My english is not very good...

Hi lunamarcus,

you are right doubting that you need Borlands DB-Connectivity in form of the DB-Libraries of Delphi. It is not possible to write DB-Applications with an Open Editon of Kylix (3) using the ZoesDBOs. But there is a way to achieve this by using the ZDBC (Zeos Database Connectivity) it is the base of the ZeosDBOs and a port of Javas JDBC to Delphi but: It is very basic! If you want to know how it works just have a look into our Knowledge Base: An Introduction To ZDBC API

I hope this will help
