Mysql Connection String

Hi there,

Very new to mojo portal a week ago. but it is brilliant. Already have 2 sites now running with it. However they are low traffic sites so SQL Compact was a good usage. for high volume sites we will put it onto virtual with MSSQL. BUT that leaves the medium.

We host on Heartinternet. and they offer free mysql on windows hosting (shared). After tring for a while and working with they have suggested trying this connection string.

Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=myDataBase;User=myUsername; Password=myPassword;Option=3;

 

But my knowledge of MySQL runs a blank. I tried changing the connectionstring but it doesn't recognise 'Driver'. If anybody has any ideas would be great. Happy to set up a hosting account if you want to try it.

Re: Mysql Connection String

Sorry but ODBC is not supported or compatible, we use the ADO.NET MySql Connector, they are not interchangeable.
