Using an Access Database

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Using an Access Database

Okay... I've uploaded the stuff to the website : http://brucey.net/programming/blitz/index.php

Currently there are drivers for MySQL, ODBC, and SQLite.
PostgreSQL driver is still being worked on.

Included in the ODBC module is an Access test app, just to prove to myself it worked.

Have tested ODBC on Windows to Access and Oracle, and on Linux to MySQL (using MyODBC).
MySQL was tested on Windows, Mac and Linux.
SQLite was tested on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Let me know if you have any problems (with the modules!).
Can't help you with SQL I'm afraid. There are plenty of docs online for that ;-)
And... I can't help you set up ODBC stuff either. (do you really want everything handed to you on a silver platter? :-p )

Obviously, there may still be some bugs lying around. Please report if you find anything.

General comments are also appreciated.


PS. If you just want to mess about with it, I would say the SQLite database is the easiest, as it requires no configuration.
