dbExpress driver for MySQL

Working with Delphi or C++Builder programming environments, users might find themselves requiring a connection to MySQL databases. dbExpress driver for MySQL will provide a connectivity solution for such instances, allowing people to access their databases from one of the above mentioned platforms.
This database-independent layer will define an interface that will enable users with quick access to the MySQL database, from their Delphi or C++Builder environments. Thanks to its lightweight data-access libraries, this driver will increase the access performance by deploying queries and storage procedures.
Being easy to implement and having a similar handling to the drivers provided with the Embarcadero platform, dbExpress driver for MySQL will work with both the native network protocol or the MySQL client. However, users must take notice that if they will not be using the direct access mode, they will need the MySQL client library as a requirement.
Achieving quicker connection speeds than those that can be obtained in standard Delphi connectivity protocols, this driver will allow one to develop increasingly faster applications. This is possible because no additional provided layers (such as BDE or ODBC) are required.
Users will be able to implement its capabilities in several IDEs: RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder and FireMonkey. The last one will enable them to create high-performance applications with impressive visuals. In order to increase its usability range, the driver will allow people to deploy it on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.System requirementsMySQL 6.0, 5.5, 5.1, 5.0, 4.1, 4.0 and 3.23.
