MYSQl with ODBC
Posted: Sat Apr 04, 2009 10:23 AM

Hello,
Is it possible to use MySql tables and fivewin without installing an ODBC driver .
The customer has a lot of PC and do'nt want to configure a ODBC on each PC .

If it is possible, could you show some samples .

Thanks .

Dear Mr.Jack,

To connect to MySQL, I believe that you need to install the ODBC Driver in each and every Client PC.

Jack,
You might be able to do so if you talk to MySql directly using its API. Try searching this forum for TMySql. You'd have to modify your code though.
