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.
