Vb6 And Latest MySQL odbc driver
Hello friends!
Recently Oracle released the latest version of MySql, which called it 8.1.0 Innovation.
Along with its release came the ODBC drivers that we normally use in applications built with Visual Basic 6.
To my surprise, the most recent version of the ODBC Driver was compiled for 64-Bit platforms only. We will no longer have recent versions of the ODBC Driver compatible with Vb6.
So we don't know if the older versions of these frivers will support the new MySql Server 8.1.0 Innovation and later versions. This is very bad. It would be a limitation for us, after all, who here has never used MySql Server?
Also the latest version of MySql ODBC fixes a critical bug:
Bugs Fixed
Fixed a memory leak generated by reading data. (Bug #111036, Bug #35491247)
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/c...ews-8-1-0.html
Is there any way to use 64bit MySql ODBC driver with vb6?

Thanks!

Re: Vb6 And Latest MySQL odbc driver
Does it have any changes from the previous 32 bit version that you need?

Re: Vb6 And Latest MySQL odbc driver
How is this issue today? Is it possible to use MySql 8 with vb6 on a 64-bit Windows normally? I use DRIVER 3.51 until today, but I would like to use new SQl features.

AFAIK, Only up to MySQL8.0.37 provides 32-Bit ODBC-Driver
You should still be able to connect to a MySQL 8.X.X, but you won't be able to use any new features after 8.0.37
