There is no SQLyog database. SQLyog is a front-end for MySql databases. There are two ways for connecting to a MySql db from VB. The hard way is to export the header of each function in libmysql.dll and write your own client software. The easy way is to download MySql's ODBC driver (MyODBC) from dev.mysql.com and use ADO to connect to MySql. A connectionstring example: “Driver=MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver;DATABASE=my_db;SERVER=localhost;UID=my_user;PASSWORD=my_password;PORT=330
;OPTION=3″. Always set the “do not optimize column width” option at the ODBC settings!
