TMySQLDataset 0.7 component 
===========================

This is a component to access MySQL databases from Delphi.
It uses libmysql.dll (included), so no BDE, ODBC, or anything more, needed!

This component descends from TDataset, so you should be able to link it to most visual database controls.

Features
--------

All MySQL queries can be executed from TMySQLDataset.
You can add fields by means of the fields editor, just like any Delphi TDataset.
TMySQLDataset components copies all the data to the client, so big queries can lock your computer (I have not experienced it yet).

What's missing
--------------

- BLOBs (BLOB fields just don't appear on the dataset, and are ignored.
- Locate method.
- TDataset editing (the result set is read-only).
- Differentiation from fields of the same kind - all MySQL integers are just Integer, no SmallInt or Word fields, and so on.

License
------
TMySQLDataset is freeware. Do with it anything you want.
I cannot be held responsible it this program breaks your computer so USE IT AT YOUR RISK!

Help!
-----
I have no experience with BLOB fields, so if someone could help me on TMySQLDataset, I would like!
