fastbase sql help

Post by haru »

Any help will be greatly appreciated because i need it fast. I am new to tcl and mysql. I am using a tcl script but i need to use it with mysql. The interface between mysql and tcl is FASTBASE sql. I need to know steps on how to build the file and install fbsql.dll in my computer. I am using windows. I have active tcl 8.5.2 and mysql server 5.0 already installed. Fasebase sql website is http://www.fastbase.co.nz/fbsql/index.html and i dont understand how they installed fbsql.dll on windows. Could someone please tell me the steps to install fbsql on windows to make tcl and mysql work together?

Thank you for all the help

Check out mysqltcl which is a package that comes with Tcl by default. You can also see many examples of how to use it by searching the forum.

They didn't install the .dll, as dll's don't get installed. They merely load it within the tcl script (fbsql.dll goes in modules folder where dll's go). See here on how to access the functions contained within and how to script using it.
