Hi John,


JC> it fails.  Am I missing something?

no you do it exactly right as you use the native mysql driver which is
- quite old
- gpl which may or may not be a problem
- only works if you
  -open a connection -fire a query -get the result
  -close the connection!!  -repeat ad infinitum.

Take a look at SqueakDBX which (according to their Benchmarks) is
faster and blocks the image much less.

I use the native driver in a commercial in house app for years but I
tested SqueakDBX http://www.squeakdbx.org/ enough to be sure it does
the same work without the drawbacks.

Now only someone has to pay me to rewrite quite an amount of software
which is working well to use the better driver :-))


Cheers,
