To connect to MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), and MongoDB with Delphi, you can use different components or libraries that provide the necessary database connectivity. Delphi supports a variety of data access components for these databases. Below are examples for each database:
Connecting to MySQL:
For MySQL, you can use dbExpress components provided by Embarcadero. Make sure you have MySQL dbExpress driver installed. You can use the TSQLConnection component to establish a connection.

						uses   Data.DBXMySql, Data.SqlExpr; var   MySQLConnection: TSQLConnection; begin   MySQLConnection := TSQLConnection.Create(nil);   try     MySQLConnection.DriverName := ‘MySQL’;     MySQLConnection.LibraryName := ‘dbxmys.dll’; // MySQL dbExpress driver library     MySQLConnection.GetDriverFunc := ‘getSQLDriverMYSQL’;     MySQLConnection.VendorLib := ‘libmysql.dll’; // MySQL client library     MySQLConnection.Params.Add(‘Database=mydatabase’);     MySQLConnection.Params.Add(‘User_Name=myuser’);     MySQLConnection.Params.Add(‘Password=mypassword’);     MySQLConnection.Connected := True;     // Use MySQLConnection to interact with the MySQL database   finally     MySQLConnection.Free;   end; end;  | 
					
Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL):
For MSSQL, you can use dbExpress components with the MSSQL dbExpress driver. Ensure you have the necessary dbExpress driver installed for MSSQL.

						uses   Data.DBXMSSQL, Data.SqlExpr; var   MSSQLConnection: TSQLConnection; begin   MSSQLConnection := TSQLConnection.Create(nil);   try     MSSQLConnection.DriverName := ‘MSSQL’;     MSSQLConnection.LibraryName := ‘dbxmss.dll’; // MSSQL dbExpress driver library     MSSQLConnection.GetDriverFunc := ‘getSQLDriverMSSQL’;     MSSQLConnection.Params.Add(‘Database=mydatabase’);     MSSQLConnection.Params.Add(‘User_Name=myuser’);     MSSQLConnection.Params.Add(‘Password=mypassword’);     MSSQLConnection.Connected := True;     // Use MSSQLConnection to interact with the MSSQL database   finally     MSSQLConnection.Free;   end; end;  | 
					
Connecting to MongoDB:
For MongoDB, you can use the official MongoDB driver for Delphi, which is available on GitHub. You can use the TMongoConnection component to connect to MongoDB.
| 
					 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21  | 
						uses   System.SysUtils, System.Classes, MongoDB.Driver; var   MongoDBConnection: TMongoConnection; begin   MongoDBConnection := TMongoConnection.Create(nil);   try     MongoDBConnection.Server := ‘localhost’; // MongoDB server address     MongoDBConnection.Port := 27017; // MongoDB server port     MongoDBConnection.Username := ‘myuser’;     MongoDBConnection.Password := ‘mypassword’;     MongoDBConnection.Database := ‘mydatabase’;     MongoDBConnection.Open;     // Use MongoDBConnection to interact with the MongoDB database   finally     MongoDBConnection.Free;   end; end;  | 
					
Make sure to replace placeholders like 'localhost', 27017, 'myuser', 'mypassword', 'mydatabase' with your actual database connection details.
Remember to handle exceptions appropriately in your code and perform error checking during database operations.
