Hiya Tim, If you're using MySQL theres no need for you to use the ODBC driver, get the mm.mysql driver here:
http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net you should find everything you need to set it up. Its a type 4 driver which will give you better performance, plus it doesn't have the threading problems of the jdbc:odbc driver. cheers, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Wo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 October 2001 19:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mysql connect problem Dear all, i am trying to connect to mysql server. Is it necessary to name the sql server as an odbc data source? i have tried but i do not know what to put in the field "what sql server"? how do i find out what to put in that field. I can already connect to an access database so it just involves renaming "jdbc:odbc:...." but i really do not know how to set the field for mysql server?? Is there any other way to connect to mysql besides driver.getconnection("jdbc:odbc:database_name")?
