I have purchased a virtual server that has Apache and chilisoft and I have access to a MySql database. Can UD4 connect to the MySQl database in the same way as the Access database on my ISP's NT machine (dsnless connection). I cannot find basic info on this subject anywhere.
Thanks in advance
Mike.

I'd get a copy of Ultradev 4 - The Complete Reference. Has quite a large section on using Ultradev with MySQL. Hope that helps.

To connect to a MySQL Database using a DSN-less connection use the following string:-

driver={mysql}; database=yourdatabase;uid=username;pwd=password;option=16386;

For more information about connection strings and connecting to databases visit Tom Muck's website www.basic-ultradev.com

Hope this helps :-)
