DAC for MySQL Components:

# TmySQLDatabase provides discrete control over a connection to a single database in a database application.
Use TmySQLDatabase when a database application requires any of the following control over a database connection:
* Persistent database connections;
* Customized database server logins;
* Transaction control;
* Single-value queries.

# TmySQLTable encapsulates a database table.
Use TmySQLTable to access data in a single database table. TmySQLTable provides direct access to every record and field in an underlying database table. TmySQLTable can also work with a subset of records within a database table using ranges and filters.
At design time, create, delete, update, or rename the database table connected to a TmySQLTable by right-clicking on the TmySQLTable and using the pop-up menu.

# TmySQLQuery encapsulates a dataset with a result set that is based on an SQL statement.
Use TmySQLQuery to access one or more MySQL tables in a database using SQL statements.
TmySQLQuery component is useful because it can:
* Access more than one table at a time (called a "join" in SQL).
* Automatically access a subset of rows and columns in its underlying table(s), rather than always returning all rows and columns.
* Access multi-resultset queries.
