mySQL driver

 [1/4] from: ptretter::norcom2000::com at: 3-Apr-2001 21:58


Doc Kimbel, I have been wanted to test the mySQL driver and have no longer access to Doc Kimbel's docs and drivers except an older one that was downloaded. Some suggestions I would like to make because I think this would greatly benefit us REBOL disciples. First off add your website URL to the documentation. Now the cool part - provide some access to mock mySQL database so that users can test the driver on your mySQL test/training database and put documentation as to what the tables consist of etc... on the website URL. I know that is alot of work but I think it compliments your work very well. And BTW - keep up the great work Doc - you have inspired my to learn mySQL. Paul Tretter

I can at least help with the URL's. The base URL is http://rebol.dhs.org/ Most recent MySQL scheme rip file is http://rebol.dhs.org/mysql-085.rip --Scott Jones

Currently, it's only a *Reb* site, a web site will come soon.

Thanks for the idea, but i don't think that i will have time to maintain such a thing...The best way to learn mysql is to install the mysql server archive from www.mysql.com and play with it on your own pc ! If you need some test database, you can find or make an ACCESS database and then import it in the mysql server. There's some free tools (like DBTools) that will do all the work for you.

Glad to hear that ! Thanks. Regards, DocKimbel.
