Hi.
This is my first post to this mailing list. I hope this is an appropriate place to ask a question like this. If not, my apologies in advance.
Is there any reason that MyODBC has been removed from Fedora Core 5? I was about to set it up so I can run my ODBC clien app to connect to my MySQL server running on a separate Linux computer, when I found that the package was missing. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dai

Are you looking for the mysql-connector-odbc package? This is new to FC5, IIRC.

Right, MyODBC has been renamed to mysql-connector-odbc. This is mostly to track the upstream naming of the package, but also because if you have some urgent reason to need the 2.x version of the package alongside the 3.x version, you can do it. I'm not intending to distribute RPMs for the 2.x version anymore, though.

Thank you for the information. That's exactly what I needed to know. Better yet, the 3.51 driver seems to be backward-compatible with 2.x APIs so I do not have to upgrade my code right away.
Thanks again! Dai
