MySQLConnect and DBGateway
Hi,
I've just released new versions of my REALbasic database plug-ins.
* MySQLConnect is used to connect to a MySQL database via TCP/IP.
The new version provides functions to retrieve the number of records
modified by the last SQLExecute call, as well as a function to
retrieve the AUTOINCREMENT field value of the last INSERTed record.
* DBGateway allows connection to any database running on an NT server
- by using the NT server's driver, it bypasses requiring a special
driver - thus can be used for connecting to Access databases, Oracle,
SQL Server, etc.
The new version of DBGateway fixes a problem which could leave socket
connections outstanding.

2.0, a major update to the company's high-performance FTP server package.
