Nice solution - your executable needs only small libpq.dll file without any 
annoying BDE/ODBC installation.
There is one more native driver for C++ Builder/Delphi - pgexpress, but it's 
not free.

Zeos has nothing to authentication. It's a matter of libpq library, which 
currently supports md5 authentication. If you need more security - you can 
even compile libpq with ssl.

Tomasz,
it seems to be interesting for me as well, but actually I can't download a
file from the given url.
I just click on the binary zip link, but nothing happen. How should I click?
:)

Thanks,

Not sure I was clear. Using zeos, you get a set of Delphi components that
connect the database back end with user-interface controls on your Delphi
TForm objects, like TDBEdit, TDBMemo, etc. You use those zeos components
instead of the standard "messy" BDE database components TDatabase,
TQuery, TTable, etc. While the zeos components would successfully connect
to the database back end, they would not allow or require
database-enforced md5 authentication at the user-interface end. I didn't
want to have to invent my own authentication scheme when the database is
capable of doing a good job.

I think I looked at zeos at some point and found that it did not support
md5 authentication, which, at the time, I thought was important.

There is nothing special - it's a default sourceforge download. First you 
choose version and target of file, after this you have to choose mirror you 
want to use and then you download.

Both link work nicely, thanks.
I don't know what could be the problem with the others.
But it's not important by now....

Thank you.
