Broadly speaking, I would agree with Cal becasue MySQL is, by its very
nature, a server application..
However, you can easily emulate it being an application by adding net
start(s) and net stop(s) to the beginning and end of your application - you
may have timing issues, however, with the start and stops and your
application - you will need to ensure that everything is in place before you
start your app main code and that everything closes off properly before your
app releases all resources.
I think the first will just be a timing or return function problem and the
second a flush buffer and ensuring all updates have taken place. O'course I
aint heard of anyone trying this yet!
