[BUG] Can't use a different library name than 'libmysql.dll'

Post by fduenas » Tue 27 Dec 2005 14:05

Hi even in latest version of dbexpress driver i can't use a different client library name instead of 'libmysql.dll' if i want to sue 'libmysql41.dll' or any other name tyhe DBX express driver sends me an error that 'cant find 'libmysql.dll' even if i have specified at 'VendorLib' a different library name.

You are right, currently DbxMda ignores VendorLib.
Please specify for which reason you use client mode insead of Direct mode.

Its because a lot of my programs have the option to specify the client dll.
Alsop some 3rd party programs we use use Dbexpress buit we don't have the source to modify to use the direct Mode Option.

The direct mode it's good option, but i think give the end user to use client dll with a different name should be usefull.

Also what happens if i want to use Mysql dll embedded server? i should also specify a libmysqld41.dll or libmysqld50.dll name.

regards and thanks

We will think about adding this feature in next DbxMda builds.
