Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus and MySQL 5.7
What version of Lazarus can connect to MySQL 5.7 using TSqlConnector? My laptop has 1.6 and does not seem to be able to connect using that component. I added TMySQL57Connection to trunk (1.7). Thank you Mattias. -Laco. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

That comes down to the fact that the Delphi, Lazarus and MSEide built-in form designers can't handle component that aren't registered with the IDE. You have no such problem with fpGUI's Visual Forms Designer. [kind of off-topic to what I suggested in my previous post] Either way, I don't think it is that bad using custom components you wrote, based on standard components. Such components source code will normally be included with your own applications so no problems compiling the app. Using 100's of 3rd party components (so often seen in Delphi projects) is a timebomb though. Even worse, if you didn't have the full source code of those 3rd party components. We got bitten badly by that in the D7 and Kylix 3 days.

Every time I think about inheriting a component and creating my own, I stop myself and try to just use the built in component palette ones wherever possible As sort of a "I know the standard components will always be there" but my own rolled components may not.. if I do a fresh install of an IDE on another system, etc. Then it requires using non standard components. But as for mysql, obviously once someone ports the component it will become standard and be shipped with the ide. I'm speaking of other cases. Like say inheriting a button and creating my own... then I'm using a non standard component and it makes me scared. Just what I've found anyway, that the biggest scariest thing about creating your own components, is they are now non standard not shipped with the IDE. I first realized this when I needed a button that had new behavior in Delphi.. so I created my own. Then I realized that any time I install the IDE on a system, I now have the headache of having to install a non standard component in order to use it. As powerful as creating your own components is, it also comes with some drawbacks. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Actually it took me almost a full quarter of an hour to do it. The most of the time was spent to draw the proper Icon, not too much different from the others, and to detect a typo. I'm lazy and I like RAD tools, because finding all the published properties neatly listed in the OI saves me time and mistakes.

Technically it's got nothing to do with the Lazarus version, but rather the FPC version. FPC is the one where the database components are defined, in the FCL. Lazarus 1.6 includes the package SQLDBLaz which provides support for MySQL from versions 4.0 to 5.6. Looking into the sources, version 5.7 is already there, but the package doesn't support it, and therefore it can't be used taking advantage of the Object Inspector. It should work by adding mysql57conn to the uses clause, and creating the required objects and filling up the appropriate fields programmatically. Sort of SQLConnector1.ConnectorType := 'MYSQL 5.7'; // programmatically because the OI doesn't have it MySQL57Connection1 := TMySQL57Connection.Create(Self); // programmatically because you can't drop it into the form etc..
