command/mySQL

 [1/9] from: bosch:geo:uu:nl at: 10-Aug-2000 16:08


Dear List, I was wondering if someone has tried to let rebol/command use the %libmySQL.dll from MySQL. at the moment i can get several routines working (e.g. connecting to MySQL, getting stats, create database etc) but, i am failing to get to the 'real' stuff I, and probably more people with me would consider talking directly to MySQL from rebol as something rather important. While MySQL might, perhaps, be seen as the 'beer' among the Open Source Databases (postgresql--> vintage port?) but, as is the case with beer, MySQL is hugely popular and free (available at least). so, any thoughts/help/pointers etc would be appreciated, Hendrik-Jan Bosch

Which API functions are you finding problematic? -jeff

hi jeff, to be honest? all functions with MYSQL_RES and MYSQL_ROW/FIELD as input/output. i think my main problem is that once a result from an API-call is not 'just a variable' i am lost... perhaps one good example would do the trick, but i don't know about that untill I try off course. example: all mysql_fetch-* functions... for me, this is kinda difficult, but i am amazed how far rebol would let me go without giving me any problems.. hendrik-jan

As long as you can run SQL queries & connect, IMHO that's all you really need.

Now that I've gotten a version of /Command runs on my server, I'm VERY interesting in developing some applications with /Command and mySQL. Can anyone point me toward information on the basics, such as creating, opening, writing to mySQL, reading tables, et al. Thanks! --Ralph Roberts

VERY much agree. I would feel much more comfortable with building serious applications in REBOL given a real MySQL API. -Ted. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** I, and probably more people with me would consider talking directly to MySQL from rebol as something rather important.

Me too. Is this turning into a petition ? I do think that Carl and the Gang (sounds quite catchy doesn't it :-) will put this into "Command", so there's probably no need to worry. Lance.

yep, a lot of us see the need for REBOL >> mySQL >> REBOL. --Ralph Roberts
