Error using TMySQL50Connection

[Neuromancer]

Hello,

I am trying to connect to a MySQL database using a TMySQL50Connection but I get the following error :

Code: [Select]

TMySQL50Connection can not work with the installed MySQL client version: Expected (5.0), got (5.5.35).

Your server version(5.5),

It does not help me...

Do Lazarus work with MySQL 5.1 ?

I think that Lazarus 1.2 have both layer 5.1 and 5.5.
Please, OS, Lazarus version etc.

Download lazarus 1.2, it has a TMySQL55Connection and seems more stable from previous version... or the use the TSQLConnector (and set it to 5.5 version). For higher versions (e.g. 5.6 i don't ... now).

Lazarus 0.9.30.4-6 (Debian Wheezy package)
Lazrus FPC 2.6.0

I suppose 32bit. So, try Lazarus 1.2. Good luck!

p.s. I prefer to use Firebird or PostgreSQL

The problem is the connector checks with version of mysql.dll you have. Version 5.5 can't work with 5.1. The developers want you to use  same version server and client, because they think there's are differences in communications. I think client 5.5 can work with 5.1. With DBExpress on Delphi there's no problem with client dll's. 
Google for dll version 5.1 or download mysqlserver 5.1 and use his client dll.
