Hi mySQL Support, I am a small programming company and I currently use VB6 and MS Access as my database. I am currently in negotiations to develop new applications with a number of different companies. I am finding the number of entries the companies desire will exceed MS Access to unsafe levels.
I am interested in mySQL as my new database, but I have a few questions before I make my decision. Question 1: mySQL does not have an ODBC connection in Windows and I understand there is a MySQL ODBC installation program I can use for connectivity. My question is, once I make an application in VB6 with mySQL as the database. Is there a problem with bundling the application and installing the program on a customer’s computer? Will the customer have to install and set up mySQL ODBC or is there a VB6 bundling program that will install VB6 and mySQL components? Question 2: VB6 has a Designers – DataEnvironment ability. Which links MS Access to the program. Is mySQL able to use this DataEnvironment and code primarily the same as MS Access does? Once again is there a bundling problem with this? Question 3: Is there a bundling program that caused the least amount of problems with VB6 and mySQL applications? Question 4: What are the appropriate fees associated with purchasing mySQL as a programming company who would use mySQL as its database in its applications. I hope I was clear enough to understand. Please feel free to clarify, I won’t be insulted. Yours truly, Sam _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
