Re: ODBC vs. MySQL

It used to be that you had to BUY the windows version of Mysql, not sure if that's the case anymore. Regardless, I bet the have a previous version you can download. Try the FTP site, or http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html and click on the windows.zip file... ODBC is built into the Windows version of PHP, and works quite well. You could even access a remote Mysql database on unix if you load the MyODBC driver on your windows box. If you want ODBC on Linux, that's another story, see the install documentation on php.net for more info. HTH "Jack Pappas (AIM: 'Prof Quail')" wrote: > Hey folks. I've got two database questions.
