mySQL and ZEOS

If I understand the 'mORMot' documentation properly, using 'TSQLDBZEOSConnectionProperties' in conjunction with 'libmysql.dll' is the prefered method to connect to a mySQL database. I also understand that the recommended version of Zeos to used is: 7.2. I have downloaded Zeos v. 7.2 (dated October 21, 2014).

I now have a stupid question. Do I install Zeos into my Delphi XE7 in order to use it with 'mORmot' or do I simply add the path to the 'src' folder to my application?

Re: mySQL and ZEOS

For testing and validation the latest ZDBC 7.2 branch from svn is better.

Just add the src folder and its needed sub folder to your project options.

Something like D:\Dev\Zeos\packages\delphi7\build;\dev\lib\syndbdataset;D:\Dev\Zeos\src;D:\Dev\Zeos\src\core;D:\Dev\Zeos\src\dbc;D:\Dev\Zeos\src\parsesql;D:\Dev\Zeos\src\plain
depending on your Delphi version on where you did install Zeos/ZDBC (here in D:\Dev\Zeos\src and corresponding sub folders).

Re: mySQL and ZEOS

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I had never used/knew about SVN until now. It took me a little bit of time to grasp the concept. Then once I discovered 'TortoiseSVN,' I was up and running.
