First of all, you will need 2 important things.

1: Access to the MySQL server. IE, the machine that your bot is on, must be have authenticated access to the tables you reqyire access too. Without this, stop.

2: A MySQL package.

The MySQL package, is a Tcl component, that interacts with a MySQL server, sending and receiving results.

See the other posts you have seen, for information on the packages available. it is beyond the scope of this forum, foe help compiling these packages.

Once this is all done, you will need to read the package documentation, for information on the commands used to access and read data from a SQL server.
