DSNless ODBC Connection

I connect to a MySQL database from Access using a DSN-less connection. What
must I change in the ODBC string in order to keep the connection alive for
more than a minute?



When I set up a DSN on my machine, I just check off the auto-reconnect
feature in the MySQL ODBC Connector, then the connections stay up.



How do I do this using a DSN-less connection string?

Hi,
I think if you add AUTO_RECONNECT=1 to your connection string - it
should do the job.

Re: DSNless ODBC Connection

Hi,

I guess I know what is going one.
You have OPTION=35. I think that besides setting required flags, it
resets all other flags - basically it cancels all AUTO_RECONNECT=1. That
is a bug, it has been reported and it is not fixed yet.

So you have to remove AUTO_RECONNECT=1(or you may keep it, it does not
do any harm), and change OPTION=35 to OPTION=4194339, which is 4194304 +
35. or even 4194338, as flag 1 doesn't affect anything in latest driver
versions.

i've returned cc to the list, as that maybe interesting to other people.
i hope you don't mind.
