Re: [eclipse-clp-users] Getting MySQL access setup

?- lib(dbi).
Yes (0.00s cpu)

module_options.eco loaded in 0.00 seconds
dbi.eco    loaded in 0.00 seconds

That does appear to have resolved the problem, thank you! 

I chose to start with the 32-bit version, because I've found troubles in environments in which the 64bit and 32bit versions don't have equal support.  For example, a server may have 64, but a dll/library I need doesn't yet support 64bit fully, while a third library may require 32bit only.  Basically, I wanted to start with the fewest number of variables to establish a working environment to start from.

Thanks for your assistance!

The problem is that Windows was unable to find libmysql.dll, which is needed by dbi_mysql.dll. Unfortunately, for Windows, placing libmysql.dll in lib/i386_nt (where dbi_mysql.dll should be) did not work, because Windows dll files do not look for dependent dll files in the same directory. Instead you should put it in lib.

I actually noticed this problem a few days ago when I added lib(dbi) support for 64 bit Windows and ran into the same problem as you. From 6.1#161, lib(dbi) for 32 and 64 bit Windows will work with libmysql.dll in lib/<ARCH>.

[From your path, you seem to be running the 32 bit Windows version of ECLiPSe on a 64 bit Window system. Is this because you wanted to run lib(dbi)? This is now supported on the 64 bit Windows version of ECLiPSe]

Cheers,

Kish
