Re: Witango-Talk: ODBC drivers in OS X

[Christian Platt]

Why using a bridge adaptor instead of using JDBC direct.
iODBC as far as i know,  works as follows
 Client->iODBC->JDBC......................JDBC->ODBC Database
Long time ago i tried tio use iODBC to connect, but it is easier to  
connect to mysql.

You can find Infos at http://www.apocm.de/witango/ for mysql and  
OpenBase

Thanks again. I will follow your instructions.
One last question, though, will clear things up for me: what do I use  
the
installed iodbc for if I can't use it to connect to my MySQL database?

Peter -
You still need to install the required ODBC driver for the DSN that  
you
are
creating. You mentioned that you wanted to connect to a mySQL  
database and
I
would presume that you would need to download and install the mySQL  
ODBC
driver before you can create a mySQL DSN.

Jonah Simpson posted a guide to setting up mySQL, ODBC and Witango a  
few
months back which may or may not help depending on what you are  
trying to
achieve. If you search the archives on the Witango website using the
keywords ODBC;10.3.5 you will find it.

Thanks very much for the info.
However, Iodbc is already installed, the Tango installation guide
implies
that I can use iodbc to connect to data sources so I thought that it  
was
only necessary to point to the iodbc driver in the ODBC Manager to
create
a DSN to my MySQL database.

Am I wrong?
Peter -
Download the mySQL ODBC driver for Mac OSX from
http://www.serverlogistics.com/mysql.php. Edit the odbc.ini file
located
in /Applications/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini to specify your DSN�s.

Apologies for broaching a topic I am sure has been thoroughly
discussed
before. I haven't been able to locate the answer. Successfully
installed Witango 5.5 Studio LITE on OS X  v10.3.5. However, I
don't
know how to locate the iodbc drivers so that I can create a DSN
using
ODBC Manager. My ultimate target is a MySQL dbms.
Thanks in advance for your help.
