Vendor's Description (from Readme files, web site, etc.):

The ZEOS Library is a set of Delphi Components for easy access of MySQL.

The included components are:

TParser- component to calculate formulas
TMySQLDatabase- component to access a MySQL Database
TMySQLTransact- component to post updates directly to the MySQL server, or via the ZEOS Transact server.
TMySQLQuery- Full-featured TDataset class:
- Support for all data types
- Can edit simple and complex queries!
- Cached updates
- BLOB support
- Locate and Lookup
- Master-Detail support
- Filter support
- ZEOS generator support (recommended for cached updates - but not required)
- ZEOS transact server support (to emulate MySQL transactions)
- well, it is a very complete Dataset!

ZEOS library is distributed on the terms of the GPL Public License so it is completly free.

BDE Alternatives Guide Comments:

This includes some code that simulates transaction support on MySQL. Of course MySQL now has transactions, so that is no longer relevant.
