The database and application are going to be fairly simple, and speed isn't an absolute must, but reliability is. Thanks in advance, Dave Tittle Back to top Kenneth Guest Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2003 6:36 pm    Post subject: Re: MySql ODBC or ADO would be my choice. ADO however requires you to get the OLEDB from MySQL, and last I checked this was still in beta. If you want direct control over your access, there are VCL's out there that enable you to manipulate the MySQL API directly - but of course, they are more fun and way more expensive. <Dave Tittle netshadoAThotmail.com> wrote Quote: I'm going to be accessing a MySql server on a redhat linux machine over the network, and I was wondering what everyone reccomends as far as accessing the database.

Quote: ODBC. One hears comlaints about the others. Zeos has a good press, BUT it went through a long period of no work then a new version. DBExpress is said to have bugs, as has my-oledb IIRC. Core labs have a product, but its not free and I've not tried it as I've not REALLY REALLY needed to and there is a limit to what I'll spend on a passtime rather than an occupation. Andrew Did you try writing inserts with parameters to table with datetime fields? I would stick to ZEOS if I were on your place.

I would stick to ZEOS if I were on your place. Zeos certainly seems to work, but development seemed a bit hit and miss looking at the sourceforge homepage, that was what made me a bit dubious. Long period of inactivty then a re-write, unless I misunderstood. Are my fears groundless? The source code is way way too difficult for me! The simple answer to your question (Did you try writing inserts with parameters to table with datetime fields?) is, of course "No". <G>.

It will be around a lot longer too I bet! Probably longer than most other solutions out there. Even Turbopower has published all their components onto sourceforge. Development can be hit and miss even if you rely on borlands products. I am trusting Zeos.

Shut down the server, move the data directory wherever you want, modify my.cnf, then start it up again.
