RE: mysql connection with VB

2002-09-06 Thread Ben Joyce

If you're in VB and want to connect to a mySQL database then why not use
myODBC? it's what it's there for.

A simple connection string would be:

strConnectionString=DRIVER={MySQL}; SERVER=server;
DATABASE=database; UID=username; PWD=password;

To access and manipulate the data use ADO:

dim cnnConnection as adodb.connection
set cnnConnection = new  adodb.connection

cnnConnection.open strConnectionString

if err  0 or cnnConnection.State  1 then

'error handling

end if

'do database stuff

cnnConnection.Close
set cnnConnection = nothing

hth,

 .ben

 Subject: mysql connection with VB
 
 
 Hi list,
 I am developing a program in visual basic, ans as I am brand 
 new to mysql
 database, I would like to know from you which are the proper 
 ways to access
 the database from my vb program. I know there could be using 
 odbc, but I
 would rather not to use it at all.
 
 We´re working for windows, but I am pretty inclined to start 
 with the Linux
 as sson as possible. In some months I believe our server will 
 be running
 Linux with Samba.
 
 Hope you are well,
 thanks in advance,
 
 Marcello Miorelli

 Hi
 After uppgrade mdac from 2.5 to 2.7 I get wrong types. An unsigned 
 integer column was previously reported to be of type 3 
 (Integer) now it 
 is returned as type 5(double). This atleast happens when im using 
 getrows() in the recordset object.
 Can anybody tell what is going on here ?
 
 Im using mysql-3.23.52 and myodbc 2.50.39 on WinME
 
 thanks

 I know the same issus exist on XP. One can't downgrade mdac on XP ??
 So I really would like an other solution.

RE: Using mySQL in Batch mode

 Subject: Using mySQL in Batch mode
 
 
 Hello mySQL users,
 
 I'm a new mySQL user, just installed it two days ago.
 I have a quick question...   I have a .sql script that I want 
 to run on
 mySQL server.  I have a Windows XP machine and when I read 
 the mySQL manual,
 I think they were talking about a Unix machine.  This is what 
 the manual
 said to do...  shell mysql  batch-file
 
 But my command line looks like this... mysql
 so how do I run the script?
 
 This is probably a real simple question, but I can't figure 
 it out yet.
 
 Thanks

secure mySQL connection

2002-09-02 Thread Ben Joyce

Hi.  I'm connecting to a remote mySQL server via myODBC from a VB
application.  Is this connection secure?   If not, how can I make it so?
Would I have to encrypt the data myself somehow or is there some sort of
secure connex like SSL for port 80?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

 .ben
