MySQL Hosting

[sfbrain]

Hi All,

I know nothing about MySql or current programming languages, but many years ago i used to programme in PL1 and DB2

I have a computer system developed by a colleague (who is not currently available) and i need some simple help

Currently i have an application (built in C++) running on a Mysql database, it is currently stand alone on a single PC (Windows).
I also have a copy of the complete system running on a different PC.

Both PC's are networked fine, but the applications do not talk to each other accross the network.

Both systems work fine as stand alone systems, what i want to do is use a single database on one PC and use the client application on both machines to opperate on the single database.

I'm sure this is simple to do, but i dont know how to do it (told you i was a Newbie Idiot ), i guess its something to do in the ODBC driver config.

I would appreciate any help going.

Happy to talk on the phone, if it helps.

Thanks folks

Steve

The network path lengths can be very inefficient and two places that are physically nearby may have a very long path between them because of group choices. Locality and distance are not reflected in the path lengths. This makes it difficult to implement physical applications where distance and time are important parameters. Such applications are more likely to set up their own routing paths that are efficient for their system, this might be an overview, however check this tutorial how to set up MySQL ODBC Driver, I hope this can fix the problem pertaining to ODBC driver;
