dbExpress and MySQL 5.0

[Sotiris Rentoulis]

Hi friends.

Does anybody know if dbExpress in C++ Builder 2006
supports MySQL 5.0 because I have some problems
with this :-)

Thanks in advance,
Sotiris.

It does not. C++Builder 2006's dbExpress supports MySQL 4.0.24.

You will need C++Builder 2007 for MySQL 5 support, or a third-party
driver (for example from CoreLab - www.crlab.com)

oops. I retract that statement, I was thinking of BDS 2006.

Out of curiosity, I just tried as small example in BCB6, and what do u
know, it connects nicely to MySQL 5.0.2.
