I have just started evaluating Code Charge Studio.

I am facing problems trying to connect to MySQL from CCS.

What do I need to connect CCS successfully to MySQL?

I am XAMPP for Apache, PHP, MySQL.

Try Looking at this and view the "Getting Started With CCS" tutorial.

Thanks for the link. Now I know as to how to make CCS connect to MySQL. :-)

But actually it feels absurd that a software designed specifically for building web apps cannot talk natively to MySQL server. Why route through ODBC?

This one single point seems to put me off regarding CCS (I hope it lives up to my expectations), In this respect I like PHP4Delphi. It supports many RDBMs out of the box natively without resorting to ODBC or some such work out.

Yogi,

Why do you think that MySQL ODBC exists then? Why MySQL created and provides such connector?

In any case, you don't need to use ODBC with PHP. Most people connect directly and natively from PHP to MySQL.

It seems you misunderstood what I am trying to say.

I have been programming in PHP and I jolly well know that PHP can connect to MySQL Natively. I am not saying anything about PHP. What I am saying is that CCS should support MySQL natively i.e. directly instead of routing through ODBC.

That is it, nothing else!

it can connect to mysql natively - just set it that way in your connection settings
it doesnt use odbc on the live server

Yogi,

What I am saying is that MySQL ODBC/connector was created specifically for programs like CCS (including many others). If it did not exist then we would not use it.
That's all what my previous question was about, nothing else.
