Does it work for Windows as well? In your opinion can it be trusted to work with a database with ~250 fields/record and 20000 records+ long (although I could feel doubtful of the same about REAL's MySQL plugin currently)?
I've tried compiling and running my app on my fully updated windows 2000 pc and it fails with quite a few assertions. So my guess is it won't run on Windows, who'd want to develop for windows anyway right? ;-)
I've been exporting records to filemaker and importing massive filemaker databases into mysql using my own filemaker access classes (over Filemaker XML, not ODBC) and this plugin, we're talking about inserting 60,000 records per table and on average 320,000 records with god knows how many fields (a lot, that's all I know) and all goes well, time and time again. My application also doesn't leak memory, so the plugin is well written. Quite a critical argument considering it's a two way synchronization app :-) So I really trust this plugin, it's great. But we're only using it on Macs.
You could contact Alex to find out if windows should be supported (the application compiles, so there is windows code available in the plugin) and how to get it running (I installed libMySQL.dll, but it didn't fix the assertions).
The current REALbasic MySQL plugin is so slow and buggy (and doesn't support the new password scheme of recent MySQL versions) I'd rather use PHPMyAdmin or CocoaMySQL (latest beta) and type in all my records manually than use their plugin.
