Hi people!

What's the difference between the protocols mysql-5 and mysqld-5 in Zeos 6.6.1 ? The protocol mysql-5 works fine (even mysql-4.1 works) , but mysqld-5 doesn't work. What's the circumstances I have to use mysqld-5?

This is my system :
BDS 2006
Zeos 6.6.1
MySQL 5.0.27

BTW, any problem to use protocol mysql-4.1 to connect wich MySQL 5? I have an old application in Delphi 7 using Zeos 6.5.1-alpha (in this version the highest protocol version is mysql-4.1).
I tried, and apparely, works fine.

Thanks!

Hi Flavio,

mysqld-5 is to be used when you want to use the mysql embedded server. There's more information in the embedded example you find in the distribution.

I don't see any problem when you use the mysql-4.1 protocol to connect to a mysql 5 server, provided that you use a 4.1 dll as well. Maybe some new features don't work, but I can't immediately see which.
