Purpose
This is the main class used in your application. You would normally drop/use multiple TMySQLDatasets/Tables/Queries onto your forms and datamodules to access specific tables in specific databases on your mysql server. The main purpose of this component is to present you with your recordset/result from a specific table or query you choose to open. The component is multi threaded ready and presents all the standard and many additional properties to give you the best possible control and power over your records. Please note that the TMySQLDataset / TMySQLTable / TMySQLQuery are all in fact the same component. The TMySQLTable and TMySQLQuery just hides some properties and renames a few others in order to resemble borland's TTable and TQuery as best possible for beginner developers.
Tasks
Besides being a direct threaded connection to your MySQL Server it was derived directly from TDataset and is thus supported by all database aware components. This component has all the standard properties and method you would expect from a dataset as well as a few more.
