MySQL is a database manager that is widely used on the internet with languages such as PHP. This is a DECLARE LIBRARY to allow access to MySQL databases.

IMPORTANT
  • 1) Make sure you are running QB64 V0.942 or higher
  • 2) Download 'mysql.dll' and place it in your qb64 folder (not provided)
  • 3) Create 'mysql_helper.h' in your QB64 folder (see below)
  • 4) Run & enjoy browsing our sample database as a member with read-only privileges.


mysql_helper.h

SQL Demo

This version has much the same functionality with a few bug fixes, better examples, the ability to switch between multiple open databases and a table-viewer SUB for visualising the results of SELECT queries. If anyone wants to code me up some more examples or suggest improvements feel free, I'll be glad to add them. Galleon

Linux Install:

This works in Linux (Ubuntu) too with minimal changes:

1) Use the 'Synaptic Package Manager' to install 'mysql-client-5.1'
2) Change: DECLARE DYNAMIC LIBRARY "mysql" to DECLARE DYNAMIC LIBRARY "mysqlclient:16.0.0"
Or just copy this .so lib to your QB64 folder and rename it libmysql.so(do not use .so extension in DECLARE LIBRARY name).
