Re: Compiling VB application with MySQL DB

Your original post, however, has absolutely nothing to do with programming
in VB.NET. Rather, it is to do with deploying a MySQL database, and you
would be much more likely to find out what you want to know by posting in
a newsgroup specialising in MySQL.


If i read the original TS question

"Hey guys!!!
I am working on an application that uses a MySQL Database as a back end.
When compiling my application which would be the best way to prepare the
database for deployment on the customer's end?
I am planning on having a single server store de Mysql data and the
application installed on several clients for data handling."


Is in my opinion related to application deployment , i guess the TS`s
mistake was in this question to use the term "compiling " when he actually
meant deploying

So to send you to the in my opinion right track the following :

If you create a installation ( installer ) package for your product ( you
can do this in Visual Studio ) , you have the option to include third party
MSI files there are several MSI packages out there to install MYSQL
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=MSI+for+MYSQL&btnG=Zoeken&meta= do a
google on the subject and you wil find numerous examples

These installer packages are most likely time capable of detecting if a
product is already installed or not and can act according to this
so it should be a mather of including the msi in your installer setup
project , and including the database and the installer should install and
setup the database if necesary on the target system or only setup the
database file on the already running Mysql instance

Hope to have given you some valid info

Unfortunately Cor has this annoying habit of using meaningless phrases

I thought a newsgroup is a place to post questions and maybe someone with
a bit more experience can point you in the right directions.
I wasn't asking for you to post the solution, rather than just point me
in the right direction on where I could find information regarding my
question.
And you, being an "MVP" I'm surprised by your answers to my posts.

Thanks much anyways,
Teo

Teo,

That I use VB in my Job, does not mean that this is a newsgroup how to
repair my flat tires on my car as that happens.
