Probably I was late in replying (just busy with some stupid work). In all the API if you dont specify the dbname in the mysql_connect() functions.
In C the connection function is mysql_real_connect(), in PHP its mysql_pconnect(), donno about other APIs. You can get a list of dbs by issueing "show databases" SQL. One thing you have to make sure is that you have the permission :) regards, karam --- Michael Seele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > oh! sorry! i use java! > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 09.08.2004 14:33: > > >Not which natural language, which programming > language?
