Hi,
I want to *conncect* to a PostgresSQL or MySQL server which is running on another machine, which is easier to do, and is there a standard kind of method to use? I Have MySQLX and havent tried of yet.. Any ideas/tips/pointers/previous experience welcomed..
You can use ODBC, which is very hard with mySQL. Alternatively, you can attempt to use the C API, which is a bit of a chore and really not recommended. I'd say you've got the best situation at the moment.
hmmm, am i best to use this control then? or can you tell/show me a url on how to use ODBC to connect to it? or as a last resort i could connect to it with winsock which would be a pain in the ass..........
go planetsourcecode and search for mysql in the vb section, they teach you how to use myodbc, to connect to mysql databases
