Connect to Embedded MySQL from Delphi XE3

How could I connect to Embedded MySQL server (libmysqld.dll library) from Delphi XE3? For now I know only one way – use DevArt MyDAC components (specific TMyEmbConnection), but it is paid what is unacceptable for my task now. Try to use dbExpress, but not successful.

So, I have two questions: 1. Can I use dbExpress or any other components from Delphi XE3? 2. Any third-party components (prefer free)?

Thanks

I've used ZeosLib for that in the past. Worked quite well actually, although really soon it turned out that it was easier to have a central database.

Several people wanted to use the application, and then they wanted to share their changes, and keep things in sync, etc. Luckily, switching to a mysql server was not much more work than copying the data, and changing the connection component parameters.
