Re: [amibroker] odbc mysql keeps asking for datasource

["Chris DePuy" <cdepuy@xxxxxxxxx>]

SS,

 

I have experienced this problem.

 

You might want to try shortening the ODBC call in the .afl so that it only includes "DSN=xxxx" (like:

odbcOpenDatabase("DSN=Fundamentals");

).

 

Just make sure you've tested the settings in the ODBC window in windows (if you're using windows) and that it works properly.

 

I have found that when i include password, username, etc. in the .afl code, that it'll bring me to the windows screen where i have to click on System DSN tab.  There ARE workarounds if you keep getting that screen (like vTask studio, etc.) but that is a bandaid.

 

Chris

Subject: [amibroker] odbc mysql keeps asking for datasource

I have installed the odbc dll's and set it all up and I am getting
symbols and data via odbc to mysql into AB, but I am seeing that every
time I launch AB or click ok out of the database settings window it is
asking me to select the odbc connection. I have to click to machine
source and select the odbc connection I made in xp. It works fine,
but I am not sure why it has to pop-up every time...?
