Xelagot: MySQL driver update (Bots)
Xelagot: MySQL driver update // BotsxelagMar 2, 2005, 12:23pm
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: http://microolap.com/products/connectivity/dbx4mysql/download/ The Xelagot SQL introduction page, which also contains a link to this driver, is here: http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgasdbsqlintro.html Alex andrasMar 2, 2005, 3:23pm

.... You wouldent have thought of allowing a diff port on a TCP/IP based
system? =\ - MR [View Quote] xelagMar 3, 2005, 5:26am

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. Alex xelagMar 3, 2005, 5:41am
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. Alex strike rapierMar 3, 2005, 2:19pm

VB.NET rocks. Downloaded the VB.NET 2005 Express beta from MS. Looks like
I escaped the time-bomb. http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vbasic/default.aspx -=LtB=- [View Quote] joemanMar 3, 2005, 5:05pm

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. - MR [View Quote] |
