odbc

I have seen both Option=3 and Option=4 in connection string samples for MySQL ODBC but no explanation or documentation. What do those numbers mean? scatman The Option= value is the sum of the numeric values for various flags that specify how Connector/ODBC should work. Its default value is 0. From an older version of the Connector/ODBC documentation at web.archive.org : Option=3; corresponded to FLAG_FIELD_LENGTH (1) + FLAG_FOUND_ROWS (2) Option=4; was FLAG_DEBUG According to the current list of Connector/ODBC options here ... Table 5.2 Connector/ODBC Option Parameters ... both FLAG_FIELD

I have this: $dbh = new PDO("odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=$mdbFilename", $username, $password); $sql = "SELECT * FROM this_table"; $stmt = $dbh->query($sql); //num of rows? How do I get the number of rows returned from that SELECT statement? Thanks all Leniel Maccaferri SELECT count(*) FROM this_table is an option... Regarding rowCount: PDOStatement::rowCount() returns the number of rows affected by the last DELETE, INSERT, or UPDATE statement executed by the corresponding PDOStatement object. If the last SQL statement executed by the associated PDOStatement was a

Why can't .NET connect to my Netezza box via the installed {NetezzaSQL} driver? 64bit applications also cannot connect via this ODBC connection. Why would that be? I've built both user and system Netezza ODBC connections in Control Panel, and both work fine when I click "Test Connection"? I see the value in the registry, but when I traverse the registry drivers, .NET does not see "NetezzaSQL". According to Netezza, they don't have a 64 bit ODBC driver. The driver they provide should work for 32 and 64 bit applications. Could this be a permissions issue perhaps with Windows 7? static void

When communicating to a SQL Server database using one of the typical systems, ODBC, OLEDB or ADO.NET, is the underlying basic protocol the same? Are all the differences between these systems basically just client side issues? Is this all just different flavors of TDS (Tabular Data Stream) transfer? [MS-TDS]: Tabular Data Stream Protocol Specification Or there actual different ways to talk to the database server and there are fundamental difference between these protocols? ODBC, OLE DB and ADO.NET are different API/frameworks for communicating with the database. For example, ADO works on data

I have a situation where I'm trying to build a web app which takes a total count of records in a table and outputs it to the screen. Sounds simple right...? The main problem I'm having is that the DB I want to look at is MSSQL. I haven't set up this kind of DB connection from Rails before so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. My RoR application will live on a Ubuntu server (and is being developed on a OSX Leopard system). EDIT: I should clarify that the MSSQL DB is running on SQL server 2005 and is on a windows server environment. I tried checking out the wiki
