Simple question about MySQL embedded application.

Hi ,
I am wondering how I can use the embedded MySQL server in a Delphi application via UniDAC? Do you have a demo for this ? Better give me a step by step guide if possible.
Thanks very much.

Hello,
You can look at the MyDACDemo->TechnologySpecific->Embedded demo. This demo demonstrates working with Embedded MySQL Server. If you don't have MyDAC you can download MyDAC Trial version. Also you can read the Using Embedded Server topic in MyDAC Reference Manual.

UniDACDemo doesn't have the example of working with Embedded MySQL Server. That's why you can look at this example only in MyDACDemo.
You can connect to the Embedded MySQL server with UniDAC in the following way:
The --basedir parameter sets the base path for the Embedded MySQL server. All paths are usually used relatively to the base path. The --datadir parameter sets the path to the data directory.

- Code: Select all
UniConnection.ProviderName := 'MySQL';
UniConnection.Database := DatabaseName;
UniConnection.SpecificOptions.Values['Embedded'] := 'True';
UniConnection.SpecificOptions.Values['EmbeddedParams'] := '--basedir=.'#13#10'--datadir=data';
The --basedir parameter sets the base path for the Embedded MySQL server. All paths are usually used relatively to the base path. The --datadir parameter sets the path to the data directory.

Please make sure you placed the libmysqld.dll (and not libmysql.dll) library to the directory where the executable file of your application is located. Also, please note that you should use 32-bit libmysqld.dll for 32-bit applications, and 64-bit libmysqld.dll for 64-bit applications.
