[unixODBC-support] trouble with mysql driver on mono

[James Smith]

Well, progress of a sort. The following /etc/odbcinst.ini file...

[MySQL]
Description	= MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver
Driver	= /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc.so
Setup		= /usr/lib/odbc/libodbcmyS.so
CPTimeout	=
CPReuse	=

[ODBC]
Trace		= Yes
TraceFile	= /tmp/sql.odbcinst.log

...and /etc/odbc.ini file...

[MySQL]
Description         = MySQL test
Driver              = MySQL
Trace               = Yes
TraceFile           = sql.odbc.log
Database            = jaspermusicstore-shop
Servername          = localhost
UserName            = root
Password            = ########
Port                = 5432
Protocol            = 6.4
ReadOnly            = No
RowVersioning       = No
ShowSystemTables    = No
ShowOidColumn       = No
FakeOidIndex        = No
ConnSettings        =

...allows me to connect to the database via isql, albeit with a few
warnings:

I can use a database from here and execute queries. I guess this means
there's nothing amiss with the unixODBC setup!

Still no joy from an ASP.NET application, however. The following still
throws an Exception:

OdbcConnection handle = new OdbcConnection( "DSN=MySQL" );
				
handle.Open();

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,

James
