I see what libURL is all about but I don't see what it has to do with opening a MySQL db from an app. All I do is open the dB with a: put revOpenDatabase("mysql", tDatabasePath, DBName ,"username" ,"Password" ,,,,true) into DBID The DB remains open during app execution. I don't see any reconnecting hangs. DB access performance is only limited by the speed of the internet connection. Has been working well for me since LC 4 thru 7 for mobile.
