Re: [GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
You can set a port number when saving to DB. If not set, GnuCash will use the default. There is no separate field for it, but I believe you can use a "host:port" format in the hostname field. If you prefer to keep the non-default port number for your mysql server, you can reopen your db in gnucash using File->Open and set the proper db hostname and port. GnuCash should remember your settings for the next time.

I expect that gnucash assumes you are using the default mysql port.

Re: [GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
Thanks again for your help; I think I understand my problem now. GnuCash (reasonably) looks for an instance of MySQL using the same port that it used when closed (or when created? Not sure). Anyway, I had assigned a different port number to my new version of MySQL (since I wanted to keep both MySQL 5.6 and MySQL 8.0 installed on my machine at least until I confirmed the new version was working correctly). Swapping the port numbers so the new 8.0 version used the old 5.6 port and vice versa (via editing the my.ini config file) seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

Re: [GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
Thanks for your suggestion. No, with only my new instance of MySQL running (8.13 running, 5.6 stopped) when I use the GnuCash API to create a new shell database (shelldb) and try to save as mysql, I get the same error: "The server at URL mysql://root@localhost/shelldb experienced an error or encountered bad or corrupt data". It seems to me the GnuCash API is looking for an instance of my old version of MySQL (5.6) and if it's not running, then it fails.

Re: [GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
Are you able to Save As mysql with the new server? Also have a look in the trace file and see what it says, often it will give more information in the case of db problems.

[GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
I recently installed an updated version of MySQL Server (8.13) on my machine. I have an established GnuCash database under an instance of MySQL 5.6. I copied all GnCash db/tables from that older version of MySQL to an identically named database/tables in MySQL 8.13. How do I get the GnuCash API to connect to my new instance of MySQL (8.13) ? If I stop my older MySQL 5.6 service and just have my MySQL 8.13 running, and then attempt to start GnuCash it asks for username and password (also identical for the two different MySQL versions) but then gives the standard error that the server encountered bad or corrupt data.
