Hi all,

I just started exploring Lazarus and I'm trying to figure out how to
migrate a Delphi application that connects to a remote server via
mySQL. I created a form where I placed a Grid, a source, a transaction
and one of the 8 SQLconnections but I get the error message
"TmySQL**connection can't work with installed mySQL client version :
Expected (**), got (6.1.5)". But I can't find this version of MySQL.
What should I do?
PS. can't change the version on the server
PS2. I'm anxious/fearful about migrating to Lazarus and I need your
patient help. Thanks in advance

Use the closest TMySQLConnection component and check the box for
SkipLibraryVersionCheck.
It will skip the check for correct version of libraries.
This usually works because nothing major had changed between the
libraries.

(It's really annoying FPC doesn't come with just a generic component
which checks the version of installed libraries.)

And you are sure it's MySQL (or MariaDB?)?

In any native Client (Workbench, phpMyAdmin) execute "SELECT
Version()"

Yes, indeed SkipLibraryVersionCheck solves the problem. Many thanks
