Hello , After compiling and installing sqldblaz.lpk as per the
documentation there is no sqldb tab as stated in the documentation. I
have tried removing the package and reinstalling it, removing it under
Componets/Configure Installed Packages and adding it back (save and
build ide) .  No luck Any Ideas?

Using Lazarus 0.9.10 and FPC 2.0.1 I was able to install the SQLdb tab
with TxxConnections no problem but.........
mysql4laz.lpk will not install nor will the interbase.lpk..

Take a look at my Linux post of 5/7/06  re mysql4laz.lpk

What OS are you on? If you are on Linux, check ~/.lazarus/ directory.

Thanks for pointing out the /home/user/.lazarus   "hidden dir"

But it seems form looking at ./lararus/packagefiles.xml  that my
package config is not right even after several reinstalls of Lazarus
and numerous package installs and removes..
I simply want the packages that will allow me to work with MySQL 4
which I belive are sqldblaz.lpk  and mysql4laz.lpk. I can install
sqldblaz no problem..
Here is my packagefiles.xml contents ...
It seems to include the mysql3laz package which I don't believe I need
or want with mysql4 database..

Opinions? FIxes?

<CONFIG>

Yet when I look in the IDE at /Components/Configure Packages/Installed
Packages
..I only see
FCL 1.0
LCL 1.0
Sqldblaz 1.0
IDEIntf 1.0
SynEdit 1.0

Can I correct the differences between this and the config in
./lazarus/packagefiles.xml without an IDE reininstall?

You do not need mysql4laz.lpk. Only sqldb package is enough to work
with mySQL, Interbase or Postgres databases.

Thank you..Is there a man page or WIKI tutorial regarding sql
statements through the Pascal program after the Connection?

2. Should I do something to modify the ./lazarus/packagefiles.xml
 which appears to have unnecessary packages listed..
Will they effect the IDE operations..?
