I found some hints, that it is possible to connect to MySQL 5 from Lazarus using SQLdb.
I tried the program "MySql demo using SQLdb components 8 April 2005" from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=92177&package_id=148359When I click the connect button I always get the error message:
"This program con only work with the MySQL client version 4.0.x. Please use the right version of libmysqlclient.so."
I tried the libmysqlclient.so.14 and libmysqlclient.so.15 (both were installed with my MySQL-Server).
What can I do to get it work?
