Zeos shold be have more 3 compoents.

Backup - Restore - Script

like the old MDO..

Hello Galdarius!

Well, if you mean to execute SQL scripts (with more than one sentence), ZSQLProcessor is for you.

Now backup and restore. MDO (Mercury Database Objects) is a GREAT library, full of extras. BUT, it's only for firebird/interbase, as the description at sourceforge suggests:

MDO is an open source data-access component suite, providing direct access to Firebird from Borland Delphi applications. MDO is a descendant of FreeIBComponents by Greg Deatz, so IBX users looking for a migration path to Firebird can have a look at these

So, backup and restore components in MDO and similars, are just interfaces to the gbak service, which doesn't exist in other databases. A big problem, taking from the view of Zeos, which supports other databases than FB/IB.

If these components existed, they should be very modular to support all backup routines, as far I know, different at every DB. And all the DBs that Zeos support should have built-in backup/restore, which may not be true.

I think the idea is to get a full SQL dump, old plain ASCII ..
