Hi,
creating TDataset descendant might be quite painful. Is there a reason why
you can't use BDE and MyODBC driver? Resulting application will be probably
little bit slower than application with customized TDataset but you can set
it up without writing a line of code.
To set up MySQL database in your application install MyODBC driver for
Windows, then create a proper ODBC DSN for your mysql database and finally
run BDE configuration utility and let BDE know about previously created DSN.
After it you can access MySQL tables via a TDatabase and TTable components
as any other tables.
And I recomend you to install MySQL with transaction support because some
data aware components may rely on transactions.

Subject: Connecting Delphi to Mysql
Hi,
I tried connecting to mysql from delphi using a contributed unit called
libmysql.pas and it worked fine, but I now realize I can't use any of the
Datasets nor DBAware components in delphi.
I was thinking about developing a TDataset descendant for this....is that
very hard to do ?
Thanks,
Jason
