Hi theo
Not quite, as what I am referring to is this:
The Wiki/Manual for PDO is located at
https://trac.synsport.com:8000/index.php/pdoWhen you get an http authentication box, just use guest/guest as the user name and password.
Actually it is not possible to log in.
My problem is, that I am seeking (which unfortunately is a problem not only related to PDO) a simple instruction to get started with PDO.
There is no package file for PDO, but a lot of units referring to one and each other, making it quite unclear how it has to be used (I am not thinking of usage of the SQL related units as such, as that is quite similar to Zeos, but simple getting it to work in Lazarus/FPC under Linux).
My reason for wanting to try PDO is (and correct me if I am wrong) that it is able to encapsulate the MySQL library file into the binary, thus removing the requirement for the libmysql.
If I could do the same with Zeos, or at least make a mechanism so there was no requirement for the user to install MySQL, like having the library in the same file as the binary, it could also be a solution.
Also it wonders me a little why ZEOS adds so much overhead (a stripped binary console application grows from app. 700K to more than 2M only due to Zeos) - all I need is the ZConnection and ZQuery, preparing all SQL by parsing.
