Subject: [IMail Forum] Connecting to a MySQL Database
I just wanted to clarify some information on the list based on
emails that I
have been receiving.
The digiposs.com MySql ODBCUSER.DLL
is simply the standard IPSWITCH one
modified to work with MySql's usage of
quotes and backslashes. We have
noticed that the latest version of MyODBC
does not work properly with IMail
and our ODBCUSER.DLL, so we have posted an
archived copy of MyODBC on our
site for the time being that works with IMAIL
8.15 HF1 and our current
ODBCUSER.DLL.
Users should keep in mind that
mysql needs to allocate appropriate rights to
the user connecting both for
the userid and the connection host. It may also
be necessary to specify the
username and password on the DSN line in IMAIL
if your userid and password
are not saved in the ODBC DSN configuration. You
can get details on that
here:
http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/guide/imailug8.1/Chapter%202%20config9.html#27806
We
have used our ODBCUSER.DLL file on multiple types of servers using
IMail
versions from 7.0 - 8.15 HF1 without issue. Hundreds of other entities
have
also downloaded and used our ODBCUSER.DLL to successfully connect IMail
and
MySql both on local MySQL databases running on Windows and external
servers
running MySql on linux.
For the ODBCUSER.DLL and
appropriate MyODBC visit:
