ODBC & Remote Server Connection Problems

3 New Member
I am attempting to set up myODBC 3.51 on Win XP Pro to a remote MySQL Linux server. I get the following error:

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user: 'username@ipadd ress.servicepro vider.net' (Using password: YES)

I had MySQL installed locally for testing, and myODBC worked fine. All the other apps I use locally (Dreamweaver, PHPmyAdmin, MySQL Front) work great on the remote server with the same login info.

This is my thought (patience, please). My username for the remote db provider is 22 characters long. in the error message above my username is clipped to 16 characters. So here (finally) are the questions:

1. Does MyODBC have a character limit and if so is there a work around?
2. Can I get MyODBC to prompt me for username & password?

By the way, I downloaded OpenLink ODBC, Installed it and received this one:

S1000: (OpenLink)(ODBC )Unable to allocate server handle

Apparently my remote db doesn't want to talk to me.

I didn't get a response from OpenLink, and MySQL Forums are silent on the subject. Please guys, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi there,

Since you are dealing with Linux, am sure the Linux server is behind firewall. Make sure remote connection is accepted by the Linux server.

Thanks Sashi-I was getting lonesome

Is there a difference between an ODBC connection and connections from Dreamweaver, MySQL Front or PHP? All are using the same Port and Login info., but at this point nothing would surprise me.

I have noticed something disturbing when retrieving datasets over a relatively slow line (multiple T1). I am looking at about 25 seconds to retrieve 500 rows via a php-odbc link. This same select from the cli is for all intents practicaly instantaneous. After much research I discovered that PHP by default uses a dynamic cursor type which can be quite a bit slower than a forward only cursor. BTW I have been searching forward only/read...

Hello: I'm doing some planning on a potential project with which I need some help. The database at the focus of this question is a MS Access database that is currently accessed by DAO from a local webserver. I need to access the same database remotely through TCP/IP.

Hello all, Currently we are implementing an Access database which has to send some (not much) data over a WAN. We are using an Access front end and an Access back end. Basicly the front end runs local, but at the end of the session the front end needs to write the data to the back end on the WAN. The responsible IT manager asked me to use a ODBC linkage between the database, since this sends smalles packages of data (which minimizes the...

Hi All, I am currently trying to link in Access 97 to a table in a MSSQL 7 server. Initially the link is fine, however, when I close the access database and re-open it from the same network lacation on a different machine, it tells me that the ODBC connection to 'SQL Server Name' failed. How can I create the linked table permenant no matter what machine the networked database is opened on?

I've got an app written with Access XP that was deployed 2 years ago using a PostgreSQL backend database through an internet connection. Recently a client upgraded to XP Service Pack 2. After the upgrade she was unable to connect to the remote database, getting the error: Unable to connect to remote database File Name=C:\Program Files\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources\PostgresCNI.dsn Error message: The file is not a valid compound file.

I am trying to figure out how to query some data out of a dbase IV (.dbf) file sitting on a remote server from my MySQL/PHP/Web Server. Both servers are Windows Server 2003 SP2. My MySQL/PHP/Web server is running PHP 4.3.11, MySQL 4.0.24, and IIS. I have set a system DSN on the remote machine for the directory that contains the dbase file. The DSN name is SASIxp, and the actual file I'm trying to connect to is ADST.DBF.

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
