+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Connector/ODBC | | README | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ INTRODUCTION --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the source or binary distribution of ODBC for MySQL. This software is distributed with restrictions - please see the license file for details. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a widely accepted standard for reading/writing data. ODBC is designed in a similar manner to the MS Windows printing system in that it has a Driver Manager and Drivers. Connector/ODBC is a driver for the ODBC system which allows applications to communicate with the MySQL server using the ODBC standard. ODBC implementations exist on all popular platforms and Connector/ODBC is also available on those platforms. MySQL, the most popular Open Source SQL database, is provided by MySQL AB. MySQL AB is a commercial company that builds its business providing services around the MySQL database. MySQL provides the support for ODBC by means of Connector/ODBC driver and programs. Connector/ODBC is the ODBC driver for MySQL which is ODBC 3.5x compliant and MyODBC is 2.5x compliant. To get all functionality from the ODBC 5.1 driver (like transaction support) you should use it against MySQL 4.1 or above. LICENSE --------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the license file for information about licensing and use restrictions of this software. BUILDING SOURCE --------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the BUILD file for details on building the source code. This is included with the source distribution. INSTALLING --------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the INSTALL file for details on installing. BINARY FILES --------------------------------------------------------------- The following, key, files are provided by Connector/ODBC (the MS Windows names are included for reference but the file names for other platforms would be similar). Driver (myodbc3.dll or myodbc5.dll) The most important part of Connector/ODBC is the driver. Application developers can link directly to the driver but more often use the driver indirectly, via a Driver Manager such as the one provided by Microsoft or unixODBC. Many options can be provided to the driver to adjust its behaviour. Setup Library (myodbc3S.dll or myodbc3S.dll) The setup library provides a graphical user interface needed during certian activities provided by the driver. For example; it provides the GUI when you use the ODBC Administrator to create/edit a Data Source Name (DSN). Installer (myodbc3i.exe) This command-line utility program can be used to manage ODBC system information. For example it can be used to register or deregister a driver. It can also manage data source names. This was created to test the ODBC system information abstraction and portability layer within Connector/ODBC but is also useful for installing and uninstalling Conector/ODBC. Invoke myodbc3i, in a command shell and without options, to get help on its use. Library Loading Tester (dltest.exe) This command-line utility is useful fo debugging problems related to loading a library and resolving symbols in it. Connector/ODBC SDK --------------------------------------------------------------- Connector/ODBC provides an SDK for developers in the form of several reusable libraries. These libraries can be used to save development time/effort and to increase stability of resulting software. myodbc3u This library provides the ODBC system information abstraction and portability used by Connector/ODBC.
