Working MySQL 5 OLEDB Connectivity for XMPie Server
February 15th, 2008
Well, after a long stint of having no decent MySQL support (as uProduce only supports up to version 4 out of the box. Other than my ODBC monkey patch there has been no version 5 support), I have managed to find a working, and critically viable, solution for using MySQL 5 with XMPie uProduce.
cherrycitysoftware.com sell (not that you can even call it that, its only $10) a little mysql driver that with a little bit of work you can make work with uProduce and uPlan – its nice to have MySQL back!
You can use a DSN with generic DB like this:
Provider=OleMySql.MySqlSource.1;Password=YOURPASSWORD;Persist
SecurityInfo=True;User ID=YOURUSERNAME;Data Source=YOURDBHOST;
Location=YOURDBHOST;Mode=Read;Trace="";Initial Catalog=INITIALDATABASEInitial results are great – its working cleanly and quickly – good times with MySQL!
