You'll need to download MyODBC from the MySQL website. Instructions
are in the article.

You seem to be gravitating to "free" databases. May I point out that,
included with your PB license, you've been given SQL Anywhere,
including a license to distribute the runtime engine for use with your
PB apps for free. With SQL Anywhere, you'll have much more power,
better performance, and in most cases better memory footprint than
either of the other solutions you've mentioned. (And, we won't mention
how much these "free" solutions seem to be costing you in terms of
running up against technical problems. <g>)

Just something to consider.

Good luck,

Terry and Sequel the techno-kitten

But be aware of the limitations of the free version of the runtime engine:
"PowerBuilder includes SQL Anywhere for use during the development process. 
However, this product cannot be deployed royalty-free to your users.

If your application requires the data definition language (DDL), a 
transaction log, stored procedures, or triggers, see your Sybase sales 
representative.

If your application uses a standalone database, you can deploy the SQL 
Anywhere Desktop Runtime System to users' computers without incurring 
additional license fees. The runtime system allows the user to retrieve and 
modify data in the database, but does not allow modifications to the 
database schema. It does not support transaction logs, stored procedures, or 
triggers."

Standalone in this context means single user. If you need to share the 
database, you need a paid version.
