I was using ODBC & mysql to test the threaded VM late last year but I haven't ported this to Snow Leopard. Anyway, I used Apple's ODBC tools and the mysql tools to check the database was setup correctly before I used the ODBCConnect code. Apple's recently released their ODBC tools for SNow Leopard http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10330516-263.html. So I recommend using the relevant tools to check the DB is configured correctly before you try and debug ODBCConnect. cheers, Eliot > Cheers, > Doru > > > On 19 Jul 2010, at 19:39, Eliot Miranda wrote: > > moduleName >> "Return the name of the module for this library" >> Smalltalk platformName = 'Win32' ifTrue:[^'odbc32']. >> Smalltalk platformName = 'unix' ifTrue:[^ 'libodbc.so']. >> Smalltalk platformName = 'Mac OS' ifTrue:[^ 'libiodbc.dylib']. >> ^self error: 'Don''t know the ODBC library name' >> >> works for me.
