dbexpress 6.11.15 compatibility with mysql 8.0.15

Post by fred65 » Thu 09 May 2019 16:16

Hello,
I am trying to use the latest version of dbexpress driver (6.11.15), with MySQL 8.0.15.
But I have the following error message when attempting to connect to the database:
"client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client."
Previously, with dbexpress 6.9 and MySQL 6.3.9, I did not have this problem.
Is the latest version of dbexpress compatible with MySQL 8.0.15?

dbExpress driver for MySQL is compatible with MySQL 8.0.15
Please make sure you are using Direct Mode. For this, set the TSQLConnection.DriverName property to DevartMySQLDirect.
Please check whether the problem is reproduced on our Query demo project. You can find the demo project in the You can find the demo project in the %DBXMySQLDemos%\Win32\Query directory, where %DBXMySQLDemos% is the dbExpress driver for MySQL Demo projects installation path on your computer.

Yes, it works with the demo program.
It's curious though, with a previous version of MySQL and the Devart library, it worked in my program ... But not more with the new versions.
So I searched in the code of my program, and changed the settings to put the same as in the demo program.
It works now.
Thanks for your intervention.
