dBASE and mySQL Tutorials
Join me as I perform a step-by-step installation of the mySQL 4.1 Database Server and the mySQL ODBC Driver 3.51 on my Windows 2000 Professional machine. Then watch as I connect to it using the Borland Database Engine and talk to the server right from dBASE Plus!

Whatever your configuration is, you need to have a mySQL database somewhere to connect to! If you are trying to connect to an existing database, you can skip Step 1 - but remember that when the following steps refer to the database server on localhost, you will need to substitute the location of your server.
- the mySQL ODBC Driver 3.51
- the BDE Alias configuration
- the dBASE configuration
- Step 1: Installing the mySQL 4.1 Database Server
- Step 2: Installing the mySQL ODBC Driver 3.51
- Step 3: Connecting dBASE to mySQL using the BDE
- Step 4: Getting to the mySQL data in dBASE
- Step 5: A Quick Method of mySQL Table Creation
- Step 6: Making configuration changes in mySQL
