Details

MySQL ODBC driver bundled with unixodbc is outdated and I could not get it to work with the database. At this point it seems unixodbc would only be usefull for working directly with flat files or binary files.

Downloaded and compiled ODBC driver from mysql.com.
configure flags that worked for me:
--prefix=/usr --without-x --without-qt --with-mysql-path=/usr --without-samples --disable-thread-safe --disable-gui

Ran like a charm with OpenOffice

So I post this to request that this library be added as a package depended on by unixodbc.

Just something to consider unless it has already been done. Many thanks again unixodbc maintainer.
This task depends upon

I have a problem building the MyODBC 3.51.05 package against unixodbc 2.2.10.

catalog.c:510: error: too few arguments to function `int2str'

Looks like mysql's int2str() function has added a fourth parameter. Did you patch the source to get it to build?

Try getting the latest source, I should have posted what version worked, and that would be 3.51.10 that I worked with, along with the latest pacman packages for unixodbc and mysql. There was no modification to the source code, maybe the version you are compiling with is not new enough to work against the headers for mysql. Also are you using different compile flags than I used?

Whoops, thought that was the latest revision. 3.51.10 builds fine for me. I'll add it today.
