I've installed mysql and myodbc on my dev machine
(the server has mysql and iodbc pre-insalled with OS X Server.)
in the ODBC admin, I've set the driver, per instruction from serverlogistics.
The instructions don't say whether to set the driver as 'system' or 'user'. 'User" is the default.
There seems to be a few other moving parts that aren't defined and everyone seems to intuitively know so well that there aren't instructions:
- What do I put for system dsn?
- what do I put for user dsn?
- do I create files somewhere? what would I put in them?
- do I modify something in witango configuation files? Which ones and what do I put?
- do I create a set of files or entries someplace for each database or just one for mysql? Do I use a text editor or is there an interface I should be using?
- what's the sequence?
- When I open the witango dev studio and tell it to create a new odbc data source, nothing happens. No dialogue or anything. Is this because I haven't modified some files someplace?
Any chance there will be instructions on how to configure and use witango with mysql on os x? please? Anyone?
Yes, I read, sort of, the pdf file at witango.com (iODBC_unixODBC_OracleOCI.pdf) I read through the "you might do this" and "enter something like this" and scratch my head (only few hairs left there)
I'm still looking for instructions that look like this;
For OS X Server, do this to get it working..... and do this for each database you have.... and do this for each user...
and for your dev machine, do this..... so that your dev studio can see your server...
Because I'm running OS X server, and it installs iODBC and MySQL, I'm hesitant to install over versions, etc., as I'll end up with a mess, multiple versions of similar functions, and in the next update, Apple will install over everthing. So my question is: How do I use what's there and make it talk to witango?
This is my monthly plea for guidance.
Yours truly, The list idiot.

It installs easily and works.
ODBC ini entries will look like this:
[Testdb] Driver = /Library/MyODBC/lib/libmyodbc3_r.bundle Description = MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver DSN SERVER = 127.0.0.1 PORT = USER = myuser Password = Database = Testdb OPTION = 0 SOCKET =
