I am trying to apply your patch to zeosdbo-5.3.0-beta5 and can not get ZmySQL5.pas to compile - it throws an error "Undeclared Identifier: 'mysql_get_host_info' on line 98. I am very new to Delphi - had some PERL experience and am lost. I am looking to build a small program to help demonstrate MySQL's ability to replace our VERY EXPENSIVE MS SQL servers. If you are still looking for a job, we are looking to hire several programmers in the very near future on an ambitious project with a 4 1/2 month deadline. I will send you a personal email on that if you would like. Thanks in advance, Matt.
Hi there!
To be fairly honest i do not know what would determine the error. Are you sure you have the latest version of the patch (altough it has not been too much mediatized i've recreated the patch for zeos so it will enable the usage of the dll with one compiler directive).
My advice would be that you download the latest zeos (beta6), the latest patch from directsql and give it a try (on my machine i do not get any error with beta 6).
You can contact me via e-mail to n_cristian at hotmail.com , and yes i'm still looking for a job.
As about MySql versur Ms-Sql i think is more like you pay for what you get. There are too many cases in which ms-sql is much better than my-sql, but it depends on the application. (eg for a web application i would not even consider ms-sql, while for a shop-network i would rather go for ms-sql - altough oracle would be a better option for clustering).

sorry - I was being ignorant. I was trying to use the zeos-patch.txt file to manually edit the zeos library files and must have not done it correctly. I downloaded the patched pas files from your main page and all went well.
Thanks,
Matt
