Yes I've got the MySQL components, although I don't think I'll be using 
them. MySQL seems to have some severe limitations that make it unsuitable 
for the sort of work I'm doing. The lack of nested queries is particularly 
irritating. The nested queries offered by both Interbase and PostgreSQL 
seem only marginally better, but I'm hoping to find that they have hidden 
charms :-)
