Hi,

I've been through all the examples, forums, web pages, sites and references I could find.

I'm working with MySQL 5 and OO Base 2.0.2, in XP, trying to get to a point of using (3) table, many-to-many relationships with forms through transaction tables and continuing to find that Base does not want to recognize relationships or provide cascading updates and other features associated with referential integrity, joins, etc.

MySql states that while they don't have an integral row management process, nonetheless if each table has a unique ID and/or a "where clause" providing direction, that the facilities for cascade and other relationships does work and is discernable. Earlier references state it is a documented limiation of typ IV Java Driver. I guess one proof is that DbVisualizer, using the same driver, is able to decode and match relationships of primary and foreign keys, relationship links and document them via the Java MySQL driver as well as delivering query results that utilize cascades, etc, so why shouldn't OO be able to do this as well?

I'm using com.mysql.jdbc.Driver, version 5.0.5,  from the MySQL website,
mysql-connector-java-5.0.5-bin.jar

I only get back an error message under Tools > Relationships that says:

"The Database does not support Relationships",

But MySQL does support relationships, so is this error mal formed?

Has this been solved and I'm doing something wrong in driver permissions?
Is there a workaround besides hard-coding updates by Macro or other?
Is there a solution planned in the future, if there is no present solution?

Thank you,

Mike
