Guys, I'm very new to ODBC, so please bear with, okay? I'm looking at example code in a particular windows binding package, and see the following:
... -- Open Database Open (DB_Control.Database, "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & "Data Source=..\..\tutorials\adotest.mdb"); ... That statement succeeds in opening that mdb (Access) file for further manipulation. I have no idea where they came up with the information that the way you connect with an access database is to use the incantation "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0". Likewise, I have no idea what comparable magic string would specify a mysql database. 1) What string would I substitute into that code sample to connect with a mysql database instead of an access database? 2) What document should I have been looking at to discover that for myself? Thanks! --D Nyberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
