[Boston.pm] OT - Any experience with ODBC to MySQL?

2004-06-04 Thread Ranga Nathan
I am trying to set up ODBC access from Access 2000 to MySQL running on 
Linux. Whenever I test the connection in the set-up dialogue, I get MySQL 
ODBC [3.5..] Access Denied for [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Password Required (yes)
The message is not verbatim but essentially the same.

I check the mailing list archives on MySQL but could not easily find a 
resolution.

 I set up the GRANT correctly on the server like:

grant all on   mydb.* to foobar identified by 'password';

Also tried 
grant .. foobar@'%' .

and the specific IP 68.101.103.68
but the response was the same.

If anyone can throw some light on it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Since you didn't mention it, I would guess that you did not 'FLUSH PRIVILEGES'
after changing the grant tables. If you did, then you may find this page
helpful: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Access_denied.html.

FWIW, I have setup this ODBC combination several times and it works fine.
