Your are talking about using the macro, no?

Thanks for that one.

Ok I was afraid of that, I could try the MySQL server which would
work for the 2.50 driver though, but maybe this would not work
neither (maybe I should start to use pinning.....)
Now it turns out that I have a serious connection problem. The
latest upgrade of mysql which I downloaded yesterday, does not
allow anonymous connection anymore.
So right now I can't do any testing anymore on the Laptop with
the most recent Debian version.
I would highly appreciate if you could just tell me about my
.odbc setting, which I obviously have to change.
I am asking you this since I am in a state of
desperation (strictly speaking that question is a little off topic).
In recent years I followed the instructions found in
www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL.pdf
so I used the following .odbc.ini (in my home dir) and
--8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8---
[MySQL-test]
Description = MySQL database test
Driver = MySQL
Server = localhost
user = oub
Database = test
Port = 3306
Socket =
Option =
Stmt =
--8<------------------------schnapp------------------------->8---
ocbcinst.ini files in /etc
--8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8---
Description = MySQL driver
Driver = /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage = 1
--8<------------------------schnapp------------------------->8---
Now debian overwrites the file in /etc by
--8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8---
[MySQL]
Description = MySQL driver
Driver = /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbcmyS.so
CPTimeout =
CPReuse =
FileUsage = 1
--8<------------------------schnapp------------------------->8---
- anonymous connection is now disabled, does this mean I have
to set in my odbc.ini user = oub?
- is the name conflict of [MySQL] in odbcinst.ini and
[MySQL-test] a problem. I changed [MySQL-test] to [MySQL] in
my .odbc.ini file but still I get the message:
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
What can I do now?
Thanks
Uwe
