I've decided to dump SQLite (as its a pain getting the .LIB files, and currently the DLL hasn't exported any functions). So, I now present DBPro support for mySQL - this time without the need for an ODBC interface.

The main advantage is that, theoretically, communication can be over the internet (as connection is done via IP address). It does, unfortunately require a seperate server program to be running.

As the moment, I've got most of the functions up and running. I just need to work out how to set permissions for selected and creating a new database (currently testing on the default one).

mySQL system is nearly ready - most of the useful commands are in, and there are only a few non-important ones left.

I'll be posting the plug-in and the help files I've done so far during the week.

Sounds good TCA. Always good to have these kinds of plug-ins which extend upon DBP.

Excellent Toad, This will be great for storing irc bot info and other kinds of things in client/server apps . [EDIT] Will this work with remote databases (i.e. accessing a webserver database remotely)? [/EDIT]

Visit the Db chat room, ask me for details!.

I presume so - I've tested it over the internet, and aside from the initial connection being slightly slow, everything else runs fine.

The good news is that the client computer doesn't need the full mySQL installation - just the MYSQLLIB.DLL needs to be present with the program.

The server side, does of course, need the full installation & setup.

On the other site is an example code of how to do a hiscore table - I'll be sprucing that up for the documentation.

My dbp seems to be giving me weird errors when i try and run certain commands. Also some of the documentation is incomplete, so i will wait until the final release is out

What commands are you trying to run ? Dont forget that you may need to set privileges (you cant just go around creating tables and expect mySQL to let you).

No no i set up my priveleges and all, Its causing compile errors and wont compile. My priveleges are all set up. I have mySQL installed on my home computer now, and i can successfully initialise and connect to mySQL. It seems to be various functions giving me trouble. I have yet to run a successful query on my database. mySQL_GetLastError() seems to be giving me problems and mySQL_QueryShort also seems to be giving me trouble. The sample i got from your website doesnt seem to work at all, although i will try it once more to be certain.

What compile errors do you get ? I've got it running on two machines (had to, to test internet connections).

Do you have the mysqldll.dll in with the program too ?

mysqldll.dll?

I have mySQL.dll in the plugins-user folder and the one from the libMySQL.dll from my mySQL installation, but not mysqldll.dll.

I get weird compile errors:-

Error at line 23:
Result=mySQL_QueryShort(mySQLHandle,query$)
PARSER ERROR
------------
Subscript must be Integer or DWORD when referencing an array at line 23.


Come in the IRC if you need more information. It is however, most likely something i have stupidly done wrong.

Yes, its the libx.DLL that I was talking about, so thats okay.

The QueryShort command shouldn't be there - both types of query command are mySQL_Query

The query commands are now :

DWORD=mySQL_Query(sqlHandle,"query")
DWORD=mySQL_Query(sqlHandle,"query",size)
DWORD=mySQL_Query(sqlHandle,queryAddr,size)

Download the lastest mySQL.DLL from my web site, and replace any QueryShort/QueryLong commands with just Query.

I've got all the commands I want in now - any left out can always be added when mySQL 4.1 comes out.
