That question is wrriten in the FAQ:  http://www.squeakdbx.org/FAQ

Yes, it is exactly what Andreas said. Think in OpenDBX like ODBC. You need
the odbc.dll but also you will need then the odbc library of the backend.
Here it is the same. You need opendbx dll  but also the mysql client library
dlls.

You can download essential package from here: http://dev.mysql
.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#win32
You may want to install only the client. Be sure also the that the dlls are
"findable" by windows.

In my case, I installed  in C:/MySQL   and I put in $PATH   the directory
C:\MySQL\bin\

Probably, this is done automatically done by windows.

Cheers

Mariano
