Just loaded MySQL 4.1 and am using AS 5.8.3-build 809. Reloaded DBI,
DBD-ODBC and DBD-mysql. Failed as stated above with user/password. Well I went
and looked at the DBI info and found this;
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd
which is as stated in the DBI Randy Kobes and I loaded it. I then
tried my simple script and it ran to conclusion.
Wags ;)
