Albie, Sorry for the late reply. And Thank you, That helped me a lot. This line is what I needed
dbext_default_profile_dev_mysql = 'type=MYSQL:user=root:passwd=012345:dbname=dev:host=localhost:extra=-t' The example in the tutorial, used odbc connection, and 'type=ODBC' as well which was the reason of the confusion. Thank you.
