I use dbExpress and a MySQL driver to connect to the MySQL server. Any suggestions?

Pawel ok, another try. procedure Tmain.LoadDbaseList(Sender: TObject); begin // get list of databases (directories) into dropdown combobox SQLDataSet1.Active := FALSE; SQLConnection1.Execute('show databases', nil, addr(SQLDataSet1)); ComboBox1.Items.Clear; SQLDataSet1.First; while not SQLDataSet1.EOF do begin ComboBox1.Items.Add(SQLDataSet1.Fields[0].AsString); SQLDataSet1.Next; end; SQLDataSet1.Active := FALSE; end; Back to top paladin Guest Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2003 4:47 am    Post subject: Re: Delphi6, DbExpress & listing MySQL databases yikes. I think I need an exorcism. everytime I try to paste a paragraph of code in from Delphi, it makes an attachment of everything past the first line?? An attachment that is empty?? I've never had this problem before? Can someone enlighten me?

It's a known bug of the Outlook Express. Your post is ok, but Outlook is unable to show it - it's because of the "begin" line. pg Back to top Pawel Guest Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2003 5:25 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi6, DbExpress & listing MySQL databases "paladin" <pal (AT) newsgroups (DOT) com>: Quote: How can I list all the databases available for a given user in a MySQL server?

I know, that the "mysql" database always exists on every MySQL server, but I doesn't mean, that every user has granted access rights to connect to it. Any other suggestions? pg Back to top paladin Guest Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2003 8:20 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi6, DbExpress & listing MySQL databases "Pawel" <grajewsp (AT) webmedia (DOT) pl> wrote Quote: U¿ytkownik "paladin" <pal (AT) newsgroups (DOT) com> napisa³: yikes.

It's a known bug of the Outlook Express. Your post is ok, but Outlook is unable to show it - it's because of the "begin" line. pg thankyou. obviously it posted since it was in your reply. So what you are asking is how do you "get around" needing to know (and have permissions for) at least one database name so that delphi connection component will connect in the first place. In my limited experience (dbX D6, D7) I think this is a [yet another] limitation of the driver supplied by Borland. I don't remember a QC entry asking for this to be fixed, so perhaps you'd like to enter one. but.... Be warned: many complaints about data-handling components (eg. dbexpress, datasnap) haved languished for 2 major releases, and nearly 2 full years, without: 1. fixes or workarounds supplied by borland 2. source code supplied by borland 3. any tactical planning advice whatsoever to the developers about what (or when) they *will* do if you really, really want to work hard and do this, you might consider downloading the header translation found here: http://www.fichtner.net/delphi/mysql and writing a low-level interrogation yourself. Download his test-project (mysql_test.zip) to see an example of listing all databases without borland components. This works (for me) under both D6 and D7. good luck! paladin Back to top Pawel Guest Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2003 10:12 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi6, DbExpress & listing MySQL databases "paladin" <pal (AT) newsgroups (DOT) com>: Quote: In my limited experience (dbX D6, D7) I think this is a [yet another] limitation of the driver supplied by Borland.

I thought I could do it using dbExpress only, without using any low-level interfaces (like the proposed MySQL client library), but now I see it's rahter impossible... :( Pawel Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Databases (dbExpress) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
