So it is truely independant work.

This requires extensive documentation in case you go to court.

It was from mysql-5.0.18\libmysqld\net_serv.cpp

yes, I can see now ... you are not reimplementing their functions 
1:1, are you? So you are not using their code, are you?

And even if your protocol would have to be GPL, I wonder if anyone 
would found it offensive?

I am innocent unless I am proven being guilty, so it is upon to you 
to prove me using your code for my code creation :-)

If you do a clean-lab implementation your code doesn't need to be 
GPL(ed).

Jaime - with rebol, you even can't to use it, can you? So you use 
mysql-protocol.r, which is let's say GPL. Then you do some app using 
it. You can open-source your app, but you can't open-source one part 
of your app - REBOL itself ... well, I am weak in licensing stuff, 
so I really don't have clear opinion on that issue - just trying 
to use common-sense ...

REBOL as is an interpreter doesn't need to be GPL(ed). MS will need 
in that case to release is code becacues it is running Apache.

REBOL is the medium.

Any how. Need to go. GPL is just some biz terms, that you either 
decide to play with or not. If you don't like the terms the reimplement 
the functionality yourself, or get it from somewhere else.

The protocol of v5 has changed (since v4.x I guess). It needs more 
than just log in the server to make the driver work. I need to update 
the protocol implementation too. I'll try to see if I can make something 
work tomorrow.

hmm, really?

I was able to send queries and get results?

OK, anyway, please let us know, if you will find free time to work 
on it ....

but what part of your code are you talking about? caching? reading-out 
packets? low level stuff?

I can retrieve the result of a query. The colums and row formats 
have changed

I'm using server version 5.0.18

sorry, can => can't

uh, that is bad ... the only thing I tried was "select * from user"

and I easily got the result ...

should I upload my version?

Upload it.

What server version are you using ?

http://www.rebol.cz/mysql/mysql-protocol-new.r

wait a sec, just retrying here at home ... latest version here ...

5.0.18

Are you able to log into the server with the new password algorithm 
using your version ?

>> insert db "select * from user"
== none
>> probe copy db

[["localhost" "root" "*F86989FB72FDCB10211242B0F66A00AB9561DC07" 
"Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "

Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "" 
"" "" "" 0 0 0 0]]

== [["localhost" "root" "*F86989FB72FDCB10211242B0F66A00AB9561DC07" 
"Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y
 
Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y" "Y"...

above shows that yes ...

because it is clean 5.0.18 install and second, the field size is 
41 bytes, starting with asterisk ...

That's weird...

have you any short script which will try to set-up new db, tables, 
insert records etc.?

I would try it here ...

>> db: open mysql://root:[gaia-:-127-:-0-:-0-:-1]/information_schema
connecting to: 127.0.0.1
>> insert db "select * from collations"
== none
>> length? copy db
== 124
>> probe copy db
none
== none
>> insert db "select * from collations"
== none
>> probe copy db

I should change my password now :-) well, behind firewall, running 
only local connections as a root, so ... :-)

nope, no script. It seems that I made some troubles in my install 
by copying my olds testing tables in the new server.

does at least above work for you?

well, if you do so, then:

you only get string! values, shouldn't some of the values be converted 
to integer! for example ?

look into your password field - if you use old databases, the field 
is not extended to be able to keep 41 bytes

dunno ...

my 'mysql' db is v5, it's only the 'test' db who was copied from 
v3.

I'll check that tomorrow, have to go. Thanks a lot for your good 
work ;-)

ok, thanks ...

strange thing, that conversion does not happen :-(

You're using checksum/secure and not checksum/method key 'sha1 ??

no, as I found checksum/secure = cheksum/method "string" 'sha1

imo Carl just decided to call it /secure and that 'sha1 was added 
later, dunno ...

whoa, it does datatype translations :-) " [[1 "Petr" "Krenzelok"
