Par2: MySQL Connection string
2004-01-26 -- Timo Multanen
 
Just add the name of the MySQL table to the Full Pathname in Clarion
dictionary. Owner value in the Clarion dictionary should be
Server=host;Database=database_name;Uid=root;Pwd=root_password;

Alternatively, try setting up a DSN-less connection to MyODBC. First define
your MySQL table in the data dictionary by using Import table -feature.
Change the Owner attribute of the table to !GLO:MyODBCConnectString . Be
sure to have the MySQL table name in the Full Pathname of the dictionary
table.

In your application add a new global variable GLO:MyODBCConnectString
CSTRING(260) and assign a suitable value to that variable. For example, try
value Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51
Driver};Server=host;Database=database_name;Uid=root;Pwd=root_password;   .
Change the host, database_name, root, and root_password to match your
settings.
