Hi
I need connect to mysql server ver 5 in my application.
I have downloaded Connector/C 6.0.2 from mysql site.

When i try to open connection with server  i have this error message:

lazarus mysql50 connection cannot work with the installed mysql client
version  expect 5 found 6

Where can i get a version of tmysqlconnection compatible with mysql
library version 6 ?

There is same problem with tmysql51connection

1. Check the documentation e.g. the Lazarus release notes on the wiki
about what MySQL connectors are available. I remember 4.0-5.5 being
available; 5.5 may not be in stable versions, don't really know as I
don't use mysql
2. Just download a 5.1 client and use it with tmysql51connection
3. If you search the forum and look at the wiki pages on mysql you'll
find this advice as well... over and over and over and.... over.
4. Mysql is the only one with this ridiculous problem of new clients
breaking compatibility. If you can, please consider moving to a real
database such as Firebird or Postgresql.

Good luck.

PS: next time, please mention Lazarus, OS version etc. See my
signature. Thanks.
