Hi,
I've been working on a wrapper that let euphoria apps connect to mysql
databases without the complexities of network programming or the overhead
of many layers. MySQL has a client library and there's a dll available an
in the public domain. MySQL its freeware on most cases but there are
certain cases where you must pay but even on those its a small price.
The wrapper is fully functional, I want to have a complete documentation
and some help files, but I realized I'm not going to have free time to do
this so I'm releasing what I have now.
I uploaded the wrapper, dlls, a demo app and a page to xoom
Comments and suggestions are welcome
I hope you enjoy it,
Fabio
PS: in win98 there's some delay 8-10 sec on connection with this DLL ( I
don't know why) but it works just fine after that.
Default parameters in the demo app (FastQ) are to connect to a server in
the Universidad del Valle (Where I work) Cali- Colombia. Our Internet link
is slow so if it doesnt work you can test it with the win95 shareware
mysql server available from www.tcx.se .

Hi Lee,
I appreciate your comments and I pretend to keep working in the library.
It feels good to have some recognition and I appreciate that you took the
time to encourage me, that is something I almost never do even that I use a
lot of other people's work.

I think that it is not lack of interest, it is just that it takes time to
get involved with it and it depends on what people is working on. I realize
that the need of a client-server environment to test it and the fact that
MySQL is more known to people in the Unix world are factors that might
delay the use or even test of the library.
I've learned not to expect much response from others and to enjoy what I do
knowing that it will be useful to other people. A few months ago when I
decided to use euphoria I spent almost three weeks converting euphoria docs
to a single help file, I did it because I wanted to have a handy manual
that I like to use but on the way I thought that other people would like it
and that it could help beginners (like me) to learn euphoria so I did a
complete conversion. It was posted in August and I've received just one
mail message of a grateful user, but I feel satisfied since I know many
others are using it.
I keep wondering what was so disappointing for Gary Dummer and I feel a
little guilty because I think I unintentionally caused a fire, but besides
that I think that he was going fast with VEL development and interpreted
not having much feedback as lack of interest, what in my opinion was not
true. I hope that Gary would reconsider to work on VEL again.
I want to ask to list members courious about EMySQLib, some feedback if you
find things can be better coded, or have some ideas of how to improve
things.
I hope to have a help file and demo programs by the end of January for a
more decent release.

I, for one, am actually in great need of a Euphoria MySQL wrapper. It'll save
me having to do my current project in perl.
Regards,
Greg
