Hi All
What is the connection string syntax for MySQL in WX?

What driver do I use? The native one? If so, does it have to be purchased?

Cheers

Hi André,

I don't remember anything special about the connection string and mysql (but I'm not using that very often, so don't take may word for it)

Native driver, yes, definitely (plus the mysql client dkk, of course)

Native driver for mysql is free... just download it from windev.com.

Now, why do you want to use mysql?

Best regards

There you go, eg:

// just donwload native driver from pcSoft, it's free
// and of course, you can use ODBC and port # 3306 for public access and
// none for intranet

HDescribeConnection("myConn,"username","password","yourIP","mySqlName", hNativeAccessMySQL, hOReadWrite)
HOpenConnection("myConn")
HChangeConnection("myTableInSql", "myConn")
//.. use H...

HCloseConnection("myConn")

HTH

Hi Fabrice

I am writing sms messages directly into a carrier database. So not my choice of database.

Hi King

Thanks - they are using a non standard port though. I will place this in the additional information.

Hi André,

I see, and I'm very surprised that they let you write remotely into a mysql DB... Sounds like a very good way of being hacked... I'm surprised they are not offering you a webservice access instead. Most sms provider I've seen have a simple URL to use for that.

Best regards
