Hi MySQLians,
For the last 2 months I have tried to establish connection
between COBOL and MySQL. Hope I have succeeded a stage in
this regard.
I have used
Remote server: MySQL Server 4.0.17-max in Suse Linux
Client: Windows 2000
Microsoft VC++ 6.0
CA-Realia COBOL Compiler Version 6.0.45
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 6.00.8168
MySQL 4.0.17-max-debug for Windows
In COBOL I can call C functions as external subroutines. I have
called the MySQL C API functions from COBOL and try to invoke
the connection to MySQL. To do this currently I am in need to
call mysql_init, mysql_real_connect, mysql_error and mysql_close
functions. I have coded in COBOL and executed, each time when
I struck up with error I have mailed to this list, but I could
not find any favorable response.
Finally now, I have reached the status of connection establishment
between COBOL and MySQL with the error message;
"Can't connect to MySQL server on 'neptune' (10049)"
According to the manual from the MySQL site, this error happened
due to improper Port No or Socket information. But, I have passed
the default Port No.3306 and NULL for the socket as parameter to
the function mysql_real_connect.
Can any one suggest me what else creating this error?
I think to establish connection in this way it does not require
ODBC settings and DNS in the client machine. It just established
the connection via *wsock32* library of the C (here it is VC++).
I have further doubts, Is there a need of any SSH in client side?
I don�t have clear idea about this�
I hope if I succeed it will be a success to MySQL team too�
Expecting valuable suggestions�
Thanks in advance�
Sincerely yours,
Arun.
