Well.. well... in the ancient language:
"Owa tafoo lyam!"

I see the error.. and it seems to be working now

Code:

	hr = mySQL_Connectdb("dbname","localhost","root","password");
	if(hr == 1)
	{
		str_cpy(test_text.string[1], "DB is connected and online");
		sleep(1);
		mySQL_ExecQuery("use table01;");
	}

I changed to a non-existant DB with a "use" query (thinking it was for switching from one table to another) LOL... ok.. ok... laugh now... I'm an SQL newbie

Would be nice if there was a simpler form of array gathering.. hemm... perhaps a wrapper <include> for use with 3DGS... I'll have to work on that..

Two questions for the gurus:
1> Can you perform ANY query that MySQL can understand? I know (from tutorials) that the query can get pretty long and complicated. Unfortunatly, I dont have a complex database (yet) to test that out on.
2> How do you connect this to an off-site DB (i.e. over the net)? I figured that the MySQL server has to be running, and rumor is that I would have to upgrade to pro (which I'm considering doing anyhow), but what would I replace "localhost" with in order to get across the net?

Just thinking out loud, Specterdragon
