MySql 2 Rebol and back again...

 [1/4] from: jr::brainbyte::com at: 6-Dec-2000 16:42


This is so unbelievably frustrating... I appreciate the assistance so far granted, but I am still at a standstill. Could someone just give a solid step-by-step instruction of how exactly to connect MySql to Rebol? This lack of interface and my lack of the ability to create an interface is killing me! I can do wonderful things with Rebol. I can create a MySql database. But I can't get the 2 working together. HELP US for the love of all the Rebol Gods... This would benefit sooo many developers out there, it would be really good karma. Thanx, Jeff - The Unruly Nag

Howdy, Jeff: If you have COMMAND, I made a script that loads the MySQL shared library functions and uses them to talk to the database. I did limited testing, so make no guarantees about the working order of everything, but it seemed to work for what I tried. I can send what I have to you if you like. It's not an optimal solution, but maybe an interim solution. -jeff

Hmm. Ok, send, I will check it out, but I still have to purchase COMMAND. The only problem here is I have no clue on the functionality. How come they don't have a trial version of their commercial products like COMMAND? This is not unreasonable as you know that almost every product offers a trial these days. Even if it is a 14 day trial or something like that... Thanks! Jeff

Jeff: Just ask Bo at RT for a trial version: [bo--rebol--com] You will get it in no time, with the documentation about it! They are very helpful at RT. I personally use command for shell and MS SQL Server through odbc... with no problem until now. good luck Christophe
