Do you *ever* try google for your questions, or is this newsgroup your
first port of call? Do you expect everyone else to read the
documentation for you?
Sigh.

I did try somethign that i found on google but it did not correct the
problem.
Also some other stuff i found i didnt understand them, so i though it
was a good idea to ask here for a more detailed explanation.

Well Nikos, this is the thing. What did you try? What happened when you
tried? hat didn't you understand? What connect string are you using? How
is the server configured? What is the version of MySQL installed on the
client? What is the version of MySQL installed on the server? W I know
you won't answer any of these questions (you never do), so I'm just
posting this for my own amusement. You need to learn to ask yourself
these questions. This forum is *not* a substitute for thinking by
yourself, reading by yourself, or learning by yourself, but you still
haven't realised that, despite everything that everyone has said....
