Run client machine without MySQL driver?
Hi All,
I have prepared a small data-entry application using VB6 and MySQL 5.0 as the backend. The connectionstring is as follows:
gstrConnString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=DELL123.abcindia.com;DATABASE=xyz;UID=root;PASSWORD=XXX;option=3"
The problem is that this string requires MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver installed on the client machine, which in turn requires admin privileges to install. Is there any way I can run the application on the client machine (connected with the server through LAN) without actually installing the driver on every client machine?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think that's impossible.

The only way you can access a database without installing the driver would be to write your own driver or database access module (which would be the same thing). Something has to access the database.
