The command you need to look at is revOpenDatabase; you can find that in the docs.

If that function returns an integer, it is the handle number of the opened connection. Otherwise, it is an error message explaining why the connection failed.

So you need something like this:

global dbconn

function amIConnected
put revOpenDatabase("mysql", field "Hostname", field "Database Name", field "Username", field "Password", the hilite of button "Use SSL") into dbconn


  if dbconn is an integer then
    return "Connected"
  else
    return "No Connection"
  end if
end if

(note: button "Use SSL" is a checkbox here)

Don't forget to close the connection when you are finished with it:

revCloseDatabase dbconn

Dear Rev Programmers

I need a simple small stack that will try and connect to a MySQL db on a server shell.

If it connects ok I want a message that says Connected else No Connection

Anyone have such a stack.

I don't know how to do this but I would think there should be 3 test boxes:

URL, db login, db password

Can some1 help
