Files required for dbexpress application to access mysql databases

Question

Hello Folks,

Which additional files are needed to deploy a delphi dbexpress based application to get access to mysql databases.

I can't find any information about it.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need deploy these files

• libmysql.dll (mysql client library)
• midas.dll (if you use midas)
• dbxmys.dll or dbexpmysql.dll (dbexpress driver,the name changes depending on the version of delphi you use)
• dbxconnections.ini
• dbxdrivers.ini

Bye.

Answer 2

Alternatively, you can download and install the MySQL Installer. You probably will want the ODBC drivers.
