I've been quite pleased with linking via MySQL Connector / ODBC 3.51
from Access to a remote MySQL database. However, I haven't figured
out how to establish the link between a Data Type = Attachment field
in Access and some corresponding MySQL field (BLOB, BINARY, I'm not
sure what would work).
Depending on what SQL datatype I define for this field, when I import
that field (link) into the Access table, the Access data type is
either Binary or OLE Object. Access won't allow me to change its data
type to Attachment, giving me the error message: "You cannot set 'This
Field' to the Attachment data type. You can only set a column to the
Attachment data type when that column is first create."
Have you had any success with this?
Cheers

Hi,
I hope this question isn't too far off topic....I'm almost at my wits
end trying to figure this out.
I have a Mysql database and I wish to automate the backup of the
database because I don't wish to rely on the web host doing so. I am
using the "dbsender.php" script, which is written for this exact
purpose (available at hotscripts.com). If I execute the script via my
browser, the database is emailed to me in a 'gzip' format, which...

Hello,
I am parsing a mailbox using the imap functions, pulling out images

problems displaying images once they are stored in mySQL, and I think
it may be related to the way I store them.

I am using the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver to link three relatively small MySQL
tables to a Microsoft Access 2003 database. I am finding that the data from
the MySQL tables takes a hell of a long time to load making any kind linkage
with my Access data virtually useless.
I have the MySQL driver setup in as a USER DSN. The MySQL data is sitting
out on a server and the Access database is running locally. The network

Is it possible to call a remote php script from within Access? I'm thinking
something like:
DoCMD... http://www.domain.com/scripts/dataquery.php
DoCmd.OpenQuery "update_data", acNormal, acEdit
.....
So the PHP script does something on the server database, then when a linked
table is viewed within access, the data changes have been made?

I am newbie in C# and I am trying to design my first database program and I

how do you open your connection in a big application? as I know, I should
open a connection, set the dataset and close the connection. I should open
the connection in "try" block and close the connection in "finally" block.
is that right? I can write a service to pass the query and retreive the...

I am a newbie VB.NET developer and i am looking at working with
ADO.NET rather than ADO. In one of our native VB application with ADO,
we used to create 1 connection object and that would help us to
connect to MS-SQL and MySQL alternatively based on the database type
and connection string i provide. So, one connection object was good
enough to connect to any of these 2 type of databases.
The sample connection string we use to...

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t.
In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
