If you - as programmer - want to do that, you simply can: detect the
installed mysql-CLIENT-version at startup, and then create the right
TMySQLconnection for that version.
But, I can not state this enough, if you want to do such things, simply
don't use MySQL. Not al combinations of MySQL-Clients and server
versions can work together. You, as programmer, can't do anything about
that. And, the MySQL-developers don't/won't/can't guarantee that it will
work with newer MySQL-versions.
If you want interoperatibility between versions of the DB-server, use
Firebird, PostgreSQL, Oracle or ODBC. The development of these databases
is much further, and their clients and ABI's has been stabalised years
ago.
