My remote server has mySQL 6.1.5 but I can find a connection for this version

[dpap]

Hi all,

I just started exploring Lazarus and I'm trying to figure out how to migrate a Delphi application that connects to a remote server via mySQL. I created a form where I placed a Grid, a source, a transaction and one of the 8 SQLconnections but I get the error message "TmySQL**connection can't work with installed mySQL client version : Expected (**), got (6.1.5)". But I can't find this version of MySQL. What should I do?
PS. can't change the version on the server
PS2. I'm anxious/fearful about migrating to Lazarus and I need your patient help. Thanks in advance

Use the closest TMySQLConnection component and check the box for SkipLibraryVersionCheck.
It will skip the check for correct version of libraries.
This usually works because nothing major had changed between the libraries.

(It's really annoying FPC doesn't come with just a generic component which checks the version of installed libraries.)

And you are sure it's MySQL (or MariaDB?)?

In any native Client (Workbench, phpMyAdmin) execute "SELECT Version()"

Yes, indeed SkipLibraryVersionCheck solves the problem. Many thanks
