Fw: Borland may have fixed the dbExpress driver for MySQL transactions

[Heikki Tuuri]

Hi!

Many people have complained over years that Borland's dbExpress driver does
not work with MySQL and transactions, because it disconnects from mysqld
after each SQL statement. The postings below suggests that this problem
might now be fixed by Borland.

Nikola,
I will have to investigate the issue with LAST_INSERT_ID()

since dbExpress MySQL driver disconnects from
server with every query :(.

No, dbExpress driver don't disconnect after every query. My guess is, it
could be either because of the issue with cloning connections in the
components or with MIDAS ApplyUpdate()commiting a transaction. Anyway, once
i investigate more i'll know.

Dear Mr. Ramesh,
does new dbExpress driver for MySQL 4.0.x support auto_increment
fields when used as primary keys ? We have a lot of problems working
with MySQL/dbExpress combination, since there is no way to automatically
get newly generated primary key. When MySQL function LAST_INSERT_ID() is
used, it returnes 0, since dbExpress MySQL driver disconnects from
server with every query :(.
We were ready to write our own dbExpress driver, but there was no
details online on how it should be done.

I hope you can help us with this big problem, which is, I'm sure,
stoping a lot of developers to use Delphi with MySQL in right and most
productive way !
