Hi,

in addition to what Jason said, I would like to mention, that mySQL is NOT a
real RDBMS....please, no flame-wars here, but mySQL is missing substantial
features an RDBMS has to offer, the main lack is the missing referential
integrity.

So, if you really want to use dbExpress (and I do not see any reason to do
it except you really want to use strict n-tier) use it with Interbase and
not mySQL.
mySQL is aimed for single-user access flat-file database wich understand
SQL-92 entry level, and not more. It can do fast table-scans, and jump to
the last record quite fast, but it does not handle transactions, does not
handle referential integrity, does not allow you to use stored procs
directly (only via some strange module-mechnism) and do not even think of
triggers.

Ah, well, and you loose of course all these nice little things IBO has to
offer :-)

CU, Kaputnik
