I'll keep using delphi 7, I dont want to hear about .net even knowing that it's the future of windows development =/ So, just download the zipped without installer here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html On the mysql manual there are instructions on how to install it as a service... There's even a ".chm" manual on the site, these kind of file is nice to look when you're offline :) C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --install Ah, take a look on the mysql license, you *can't* distribute it with your application in a conventional way because of the license kind, but there's a way of installing it without getting "outlaw" :)) > I know that I can use either DBExpress or ZeosLib (I think that's the > one) to connect, but could someone please give me some more detail on > how and where I can find everything that I might need to get this > thing working. So, it's easy... It's like using firebird, install the database as a service, place the comunication dll (libmysql.dll) on the system dir and everything will be ok :) > I need a "free" DB that is fast and can handle large amounts of data, > that's why I was looking into MySQL. MySQL is quite nice, it's a kind super powered Access/Paradox, i use it with php and dont have anything against it, very simple, easy to use and full of embedded functions :) Try looking here too: http://www.mysql.com/products/embedded/ -- "ME ALIMENTE [http://br-linux.org/noticias/002750.html] hehe" "Invente, Tente!!!
