MicroOlap has updated its dbx4mysql.dll driver, used by Xelagots to
connect to a MySQL database. If you are using this driver, you can
download the update (version 1.7, 1st March 2005) directly from here:

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/dbx4mysql.zip

New in this version, among many other things, is that you can attach
the port number to the hostname in the connection parameters (if the
port is not the standard one), for example:
HostName=localhost:2345
For more info, visit the MicroOlap web site:

The Xelagot SQL introduction page, which also contains a link to this
driver, is here:

system? =\

[View Quote] [View Quote] Well, neither did MicroOlap. I suggested this to them a few months
ago. There already was a way to select a port (parameter "Server
Port=") but it was not documented, and when I asked them about it,
they had to consult with the programming team, and it took a few days
to get the correct parameter. So I suggested a very obvious way to do
this, and they agreed to include it in the next release, which is now
available.

And by the way, Andras, the fault is not by MicroOlap, the blame lies
on Borland. Their dbExpress documentation omits the port parameter,
as if they assume all DBs will be listening on their standard ports.
So each vendor has had to invent its own way. Other vendors also have
dual ways to set the port. This Borland omission has caused a lot of
confusion.

..NET and its internals are sweet for this sort of thing, fully integrated.

VB.NET rocks. Downloaded the VB.NET 2005 Express beta from MS. Looks like
I escaped the time-bomb.

VB.NET is... interesting... o_0

C++.NET v7.1 (2003) is very nice, standards compliant, MFC 7.1 is very, very
powerful, I havent much played around with the managed extensions tho.
