There no problem. Zeos has various features, auto-commit, script-executor,
monitor etc.., But I prefer using SQLdb even when SQLdb was starting. :)

I'm not trying to write a library. I'm trying to solve a problem but using
native units of Free Pascal (I miss a SktComp in Free Pascal, Delphi has it
and works fine). After I solving my problem, I want to send the sources to
be distributed in the samples of Free Pascal or Lazarus, so I'm avoiding
third-party libraries.

Very interesting this information. I'll study more and try to solve this
problem.

Thank you very much Ludo! :)
