Hi MySQLians, For the last 2 months I have tried to establish connection between COBOL and MySQL. Hope I have succeeded a stage in this regard.
I have used Remote server: MySQL Server 4.0.17-max in Suse Linux Client: Windows 2000 Microsoft VC++ 6.0 CA-Realia COBOL Compiler Version 6.0.45 Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 6.00.8168 MySQL 4.0.17-max-debug for Windows In COBOL I can call C functions as external subroutines. I have called the MySQL C API functions from COBOL and try to invoke the connection to MySQL. To do this currently I am in need to call mysql_init, mysql_real_connect, mysql_error and mysql_close functions. I have coded in COBOL and executed, each time when I struck up with error I have mailed to this list, but I could not find any favorable response. Finally now, I have reached the status of connection establishment between COBOL and MySQL with the error message; "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'neptune' (10049)" According to the manual from the MySQL site, this error happened due to improper Port No or Socket information. But, I have passed the default Port No.3306 and NULL for the socket as parameter to the function mysql_real_connect. Can any one suggest me what else creating this error? I think to establish connection in this way it does not require ODBC settings and DNS in the client machine. It just established the connection via *wsock32* library of the C (here it is VC++). I have further doubts, Is there a need of any SSH in client side? I don’t have clear idea about this… I hope if I succeed it will be a success to MySQL team too… Expecting valuable suggestions… Thanks in advance… Sincerely yours, Arun. ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
