mysql.pbi [cross platfom]

[Fangbeast]

What about using MariaDB the drop in replacement for MySQL by the very same author? No license fees at all.

[SeregaZ]

infratec, it just for self education to have imagine how this technology works.

[HeX0R]

If you just want to play with it, download xampp and you can use Bisontes example nearly out of the box.
Maybe just set the path to the libmysql.dll and all should be fine.

Hi,
just trying mysql.pbi with mariadb. select seems to work ok.
I have a problem with DatabaseColumns function. it returns zero. why?
Richard

Code: Select all

;test.pb

User.s = "root"
Pass.s = ""

XIncludeFile "mysql.pbi"

UseMySQLDataBase()

db = OpenDatabase(#PB_Any, "host=127.0.0.1 dbname=namebook", User, Pass, #PB_Database_MySQL)
result=DatabaseColumns(db)
Debug result
If db
  a = DatabaseQuery(db, "SELECT * FROM  `tsunami` where name='DEBRO'")
  
  If a
    While NextDatabaseRow(db)
      Debug GetDatabaseString(db,0) 
      Debug GetDatabaseString(db,1)
      Debug GetDatabaseString(db,2)
      Debug GetDatabaseString(db,3)
    Wend
  Else
    Debug "query not executed"
  EndIf
  CloseDatabase(db)
Else
  Debug "cannot open"
EndIf

I don't think thats how Databasecolumns() works.

According to the help :

Syntax

Result = DatabaseColumns(#Database)
Description

Returns the numbers of columns (fields) from the last executed database query with DatabaseQuery().

So you have to run a query on the database then run the Databasecolumns() command so :

Code: Select all

    ;test.pb

    User.s = "root"
    Pass.s = ""

    XIncludeFile "mysql.pbi"

    UseMySQLDataBase()

    db = OpenDatabase(#PB_Any, "host=127.0.0.1 dbname=namebook", User, Pass, #PB_Database_MySQL)
    ; result=DatabaseColumns(db) <----- move this

    Debug result
    If db
      a = DatabaseQuery(db, "SELECT * FROM  `tsunami` where name='DEBRO'")
     
     result=DatabaseColumns(db) ;  + + + + + to here

      If a
        While NextDatabaseRow(db)
          Debug GetDatabaseString(db,0)
          Debug GetDatabaseString(db,1)
          Debug GetDatabaseString(db,2)
          Debug GetDatabaseString(db,3)
        Wend
      Else
        Debug "query not executed"
      EndIf
      CloseDatabase(db)
    Else
      Debug "cannot open"
    EndIf

[t57042]

thanks you are right.
this works and returns the total number of fields in the table.
is there a way to determine this without a query first?

mysql.pbi updated (added GetDatabaseBlob())

Thanks to infratec!

Very fine

Works with "Connector/C 6.1.6" for mac. Link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/

Thanks HeXOR.

Info: The mysql odbc driver unicode for mac don´t work at time

[HeX0R]

Thanks mk-soft!

Integrated it to initial post.

[Tenaja]

I have done so much work with db's that I am totally ignorant!

Will this work with an online hosted db? Or, do I have to copy it locally?

Thanks,

[velz]

How can i get the number of rows in the DatabaseQuery??

nice work thank you!

[infratec]

How can i get the number of rows in the DatabaseQuery??

This has nothing todo with this topic. It is a coding question.
And not for PB, it is a SQL coding question.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM xyz

Bernd

[velz]

I mean den number of rows in the Querys ResultSet.

DatabaseQuery(dbHnd, SQL)
NumberOfColums.l=DatabaseColumns(dbHnd)
NumberOfRows.l= ??

In a previous Version of libmysql i use GetFunction(#libmysql,"mysql_num_rows")
but it does not work.

[infratec]

Due to a bug in PB something does not work with transactions.

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=77052

HeXORs pbi works. But it was not usable with PB 5.73

I made the necesarry changes. It works now also in PB 5.73.

Yeah, I recognized that a while ago also, but used a different approach to fix it, because I needed it quite quick.
Infratecs approach is better, therefore I mixed mine and his version now together (see first post).
Unfortunately I have no test system at hand, can someone test it and tell me if it works flawlessly?
