O.P. [Question] Connecting to MySQL?
So, following from "DATABASE?" I was wondering if it's possible to use ADO to connect to MySQL? If not, what else?

Any little example is welcome, as well.

Thanks in advance.

Hack, hack, hack!

RE: [Question] Connecting to MySQL?
I think you'll need to download the MySQL ODBC Connector for this to work. (The MySQL site is going quite slow atm, I don't know why)

Once you've set up a data source from the administration tools, it's much like connecting to any other database.

Hopefully someone else will be able to give you some JScript examples - I've only ever used this from Visual Basic ;)
