And their support, if ever needed, is excellent.


Btw., if you want to use ODBC connection strings with LC <7 and Actualtech´s 
ODBC drivers, then here is the needed syntax for it

//MSSQL
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","Driver={Actual SQL 
Server};SERVER=;DATABASE=;UID=;PWD=;",,,)

//SQLite
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER={Actual Open Source 
Databases};Type=SQLite;DBQ=;”,,,)

//PostgreSQL
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER={Actual Open Source 
Databases};Type=PostgreSQL;SERVER=;DATABASE=;UID=;PWD=;”,,,)

//MySQL
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER={Actual Open Source 
Databases};SERVER=;DATABASE=;UID=;PWD=;”,,,)
 
//MySQL is default, so there is no need to specify the Type
//or
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER={Actual Open Source 
Databases};Type=MySQL;SERVER=;DATABASE=;UID=;PWD=;”,,,)

//Access
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER={Actual 
Access};DBQ=;”,,,)

Some general info about the Access driver:
When the  Actual Access driver connects to a .CSV (or .TXT) file, the table is 
always named “table1”.
If the “Top row contains column names” checkbox for the DSN is selected, then 
the columns will be named according to the values in the first row of the CSV 
file.  If it is not selected, then the column names will be “col1”, “col2”, 
“col3”, etc.

Yes, MS Windows has included a SQL Server ODBC driver. But, if i remember 
correct, then you need more current ones if you want  to use special features 
of the news SQL Server versions. 
We are still using the builtin ones, as our SQL Servers still are run in 2005 
compatibility mode. I am not sure this is the correct expression, but i am sure 
you know what i mean.


It´s a pity that LC does not have built-in MSSQL drivers which allow to 
directly communicate with the MSSQL Server without the need of ODBC. It would 
make so much things easier.

Skip,

As i wrote in my previous post
i am using Actualtech´s ODBC drivers. They are not free, but what i think they 
are cheap. They cost 39,- USD.
https://www.actualtech.com/product_sqlserver.php
There´s also a trial version available.


There are also free ODBC drivers for MSSQL for Mac from Microsoft, but i never 
were able to use them with ODBC Manager.
In the middle of the page at
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/sql/connect/odbc/download-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15
you´ll find more information about it

Same as on Windows, but the difference is that Microsoft has built in drivers 
for SQL Server, mySQL and some other things. The Mac does not. You have to 
download the ODBC Administrator (need the 64 bit version you know) and the 
drivers. 

This is why I created my Socket based Client Server apps. I will have the 
server reside on a Windows computer where ODBC connections are easy and built 
in. Then I will have my Mac or Windows LC apps send queries via the socket 
apps. 

Since they encrypt both ways, it’s secure as well, and I do not have to enable 
SSL on my mySQL server and futz with SSL certs.

So how would you connect to a remote SQL database on a Mac?

Just an information about using ODBC connection strings in LC on Mac.

Since LC version 7  it is not possible anymore to use odbc connection strings 
in LC on Mac OS.
On Windows this is not a problem. 

see bug report  https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18151 from 2016.

Hi all. I went through something similar of late. One thing to keep in mind, 
the ODBC driver can connect to a SQL server on another device, but your app 
that communicates with ODBC must be on the same device as the DSN. 

May not be your issue.

Re: Livecode and AWS Sql

2020-04-11 Thread Skip Kimpel via use-livecode
So I was able to solve this, kind of.  Here is was I did to be able to get
it to work on Windows LC environment:

*put* revOpenDatabase("ODBC",tDatabaseDSN, tDatabaseName,
tDatabaseUser,tDatabasePassword) into gConnID


I was using this connection string but getting the "Invalid String or
Buffer Length."  As I was researching this online I saw a couple of
different options, including updating drivers, but the main cause seemed to
be due to trying to talk to a 64 bit version of SQL server.  I created a
direct connection using the ODBC Data Source Administrator and then
referencing the DSN name in my LC connection script.  Once I did that and
BAM!  I was able to start accessing my AWS SQL database.

At least I can continue programming for now.  Eventually I need to find a
better solution for the DB connection.  Luckily this project is for
internal purposes only so I can live with the extra steps I need to take to
make it work.  I also need to figure out a solution for the Mac side.  Is
there such a thing on a Mac like the Microsoft ODBC Data Source
Administrator?

Thought I would share this in case anybody else is struggling with this.
Also, I am hoping somebody will read this someday and find the answers to
the other two issues I just listed.

Hope this helps somebody out there.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is that straight forward.  I went down this 
path already.  The files that you can download are Windows MSI installation 
files.  You can run it manually by using the following commands:



/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL

brew tap microsoft/mssql-release

However, when I run the last command, I get:

Error: Your Xcode (10.1) is too outdated.

Please update to Xcode 11.4 (or delete it).

Xcode can be updated from the App Store.



Do I really need Xcode in order to install SQL?  I also thought I read that I

Maybe I am wrong here.

You can have multiple versions of Xcode installed. For instance you can have 
10.1 and 11.4 installed. Point LC to 11.1. I have all of my Xcode versions in a 
desktop folder and have none in applications. You just have to make sure the 
proper version is active  for building.

 

Display current version è xcode-select -print-path

Change version è sudo xcode-select -switch Xcode.app

Unfortunately, I don't think it is that straight forward.  I went down this 
path already.  The files that you can download are Windows MSI installation 
files.  You can run it manually by using the following commands:



/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL

brew tap microsoft/mssql-release

However, when I run the last command, I get:

Error: Your Xcode (10.1) is too outdated.

Please update to Xcode 11.4 (or delete it).

Xcode can be updated from the App Store.



Do I really need Xcode in order to install SQL?  I also thought I read that I 
needed to Xcode 10.1 in order to be compatible with the latest version of LC.  
Maybe I am wrong here.

Any trick to connecting to an AWS Sql instance?  I am using some of my old
scripts that always hooked up properly to a local Sql server.  Wondering if
I might be a trick for AWS or heck, my method might be old and there is a
better way to do it.

From what I can see you will either need to install Xcode 11.4 or use a 
previous version of the ODBC SW. But I’m starting to get out of my comfort zone 
now. I do some Mac dev but I’m mainly a Windows developer.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL

too much help.  Anybody have suggestions on this piece?

Any trick to connecting to an AWS Sql instance?  I am using some of my old
scripts that always hooked up properly to a local Sql server.  Wondering if
I might be a trick for AWS or heck, my method might be old and there is a
better way to do it.

Re: Livecode and AWS Sql

Unfortunately, I don't think it is that straight forward.  I went down this
path already.  The files that you can download are Windows MSI
installation files.  You can run it manually by using the following
commands:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew
tap microsoft/mssql-release
https://github.com/Microsoft/homebrew-mssql-release brew update
HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_FILTERING=1 ACCEPT_EULA=Y brew install msodbcsql17
mssql-tools

However, when I run the last command, I get:

Error: Your Xcode (10.1) is too outdated.

Please update to Xcode 11.4 (or delete it).

Xcode can be updated from the App Store.


Do I really need Xcode in order to install SQL?  I also thought I read that
I needed to Xcode 10.1 in order to be compatible with the latest version of
LC.  Maybe I am wrong here.

I forgot to mention that I am on a Mac... also very new to me.  This might
also have something to do with how the SQL connection script is written.
