Re: [Pythoncard-users] Announce: dbBrowser sample application

[Andy T. <an...@cr...>]

And the corrections start already ;-)

To access MySQL databases you will need MySQL installed, get it from 
http://www.mysql.com/ (you can also get another version from 
http://www.mysql.org/ but I'm not getting into that fight, thanks).

You will also need the MySQLdb package, which can be found at either of;
http://www.cs.fhm.edu/~ifw00065/
or
http://dustman.net/andy/python/MySQLdb/

I'm running version 0.3.5 of the MySQLdb package and version 3.23.37 of 
MySQL. Confirmation that the code works with other version will be most 
welcome.

The other 'gotcha' is that you will need to know the name of the 
database you want to connect to. By default MySQL creates databases 
called 'test' and 'mysql' when you install it. If you are stuck try the 
on line documentation at http://www.mysql.com/doc/ . After that you are 
definitely on your own - unless you send me a really nice e-mail.

I'm also posting this notice as the first piece of documentation. If you 
have access to cvs it will be in readme.txt.
