Greetings everyone,

I'm starting to experiment using MySQL Databases with REALbasic.

I've downloaded MySQL ver 4, and also the MySQL Database plugins for REALbasic.

Once I'm done installing the MySQL onto my G4, OS X 10.3.4 computer, I think I should be good to go...

A few questions however :

1. I've downloaded the plugin just a few days back. Will it work with REALbasic 5.2.1?
The best way to know is.... to try !

2. Even though, I'm planning to use MySQL only on this machine, will I be required to give the Port number, and server address for the database file? Will the server address be the IP address for my computer from Network in the System Preferences? The Port number is 3306 isn't it?
If you use the same machine as server and client, you'll access the Server using the "127.0.0.1" (both OS X and Classic) or "localhost" (OS X only) IP address and the port by default will be 3306.

3. Once I've accessed the MySQL database, I can proceed normally using the functions of the Database class?
Yes. That's what is so great with RB. You can prototype with a kind of database and finally switch to another. Then, you just have to change the Connection part of your code. that's it !

4.      Are there any limitations of the MySQL plugin for REALbasic?
AFAIK no limitations.

5.      What are the "administrative queries?
They are those you use to administrate the database. e.g. creating/deleting databases, Managing the user/machine rights, etc...
For further information about MySql itself, go to <www.mysql.com>.

Eric.
