The MyComponents has been on the market and developed since 1999 and therefore supports MySQL Servers 3.21.x to 4.x. Using the Single Source paradigm, it contains single source units which compile and work correctly in Delphi 5/6/7 and Kylix 1/2/3.

The components are extremely flexible and powerful for the advanced developer, yet also simple to use if you are a beginner and comfortable with Borland?s standard data aware components. The MyComponents accesses your MySQL servers/database directly, without any need for middle tier layers like BDE / ODBC / ADO or dbExpress with their inherent limitations. It can use any of three drivers to access your servers, either the standard method using the MySQL AB client library, or direct access to your database using the embedded MySQL server which voids the need for a MySQL Server, or using only TCP/IP directly to the MySQL server, freeing your application of additional distribution of client libraries.
