dbExpress driver for MySQL (ID #24598)

Core Lab

dbExpress is database-independent layer that defines a common
interface to provide fast access to SQL database servers. For
each supported server, dbExpress provides a driver as an
independent library that implements the common dbExpress interfaces
for processing queries and stored procedures. As data-access layer
thin and simple, dbExpress provides high performance database
connectivity and is easy to deploy. dbExpress drivers are available
for Windows as dynamic-link libraries. When you deploy a database
application that uses dbExpress, you need only include a dll with
the application files you build.

DbxMda driver provides access to MySQL database based on
Borland dbExpress data access technology. It can work
using MySQL client or native MySQL network protocol.
