I read somewhere that by disabling  some DB drivers  will reduce
binary size. eg. make the following changes in Zeos.inc
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_MYSQL}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_POSTGRESQL}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_DBLIB}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_ADO}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_INTERBASE}
{.   $DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_SQLITE}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_ORACLE}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_ASA}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_POOLED}

I tried the above on a simple test program but dont see any reduction 
in exe size.
Did I miss out any thing?

When I finish a program I only use the strip command to reduce de size
of the executable file. Works fine and I use ZeosLib too.

You need to rebuild everything after that.

Yeap, after rebuild everything only can get the effect.
