hallo,

is there a difference between livecode and the iphone simulator connecting to a mysql database ?

in livecode everything works fine, but in the simulator the database connect seems not to work.
i use this statement for connecting:

Code: Select all

put revOpenDatabase("MySQL", tDatabaseAddress, tDatabaseName, tDatabaseUser, tDatabasePassword) into tResult

the connection id (here: tResult) in the simulator is not available. i tryed to write the id to a text field for debugging, but the field is empty:

Code: Select all

put tResult into field test

does anybody had that problem before?

best
fred.

Hi fre,

externals (like database connectivity) are still not supported on iOS.
As can be read in the iOS release notes!

i am very new to this and also to mac and iOS. so please forgive me if i ask stupid questions.
does that mean, i can not connect to a database with an iphone ?

fred.

Hi Fred,

a CSV file is just a text file, and you sure can handle this with LiveCode on iOS.
