Bug #11756	Feature Request: include myodbc3d.dll in Windows Binary distribution

Reporter:	Steve Revilak	Email Updates:
Status:	Won't fix	Impact on me:	None
Category:	Connector / ODBC	Severity:	S4 (Feature request)
Version:	3.51.11-2	OS:	Windows (Windows XP SP2)
Assigned to:	Kent Boortz	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
I've been trying to troubleshoot an ODBC error.  I'd like to have myodbc 3.51.11-2 generate the debugging files 'myodbc.log' and 'myodbc.sql', as described in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/myodbc-trace.html

However, the only Windows Binary distributions of myodbc-3.51.11-2
on http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html do not appear to contain the debug version of the .dll (myodbc3d.dll) that is necessary to generate myodbc.log and myodbc.sql

The next-most-recent version of myodbc3d.dll that I've been able to find is one contained in http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/myodbc-3.51/MyODBC-3.51.04-dll.zip.

Would it be possible to include myodbc3d.dll in the .exe or .msi files for myodbc-3.51.11-2 ... or perhaps to include a .zip file distribution, like MyODBC-3.51.04-dll.zip, above?

How to repeat:
- Download myodbc-3.51.11-2 from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html
- install (via installer)

Suggested fix:
Include a `dll.zip' binary distribution for myodbc-3.51.11-2 (like  http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/myodbc-3.51/MyODBC-3.51.04-dll.zip)

Hi,

I have the same problem (I need to trace ODBC calls from a client, but I don't have the myodbc3d.dll file). In addition, when I copied the myodbc3d.dll file from 3.51.04 it didn't work with my (4.1.x) server, because it didn't support the new password handling. I'd prefer to have an updated debug DLL than handicap the server to use old-style passwords, or even replace the password for the DB user by an old-style password.

Dave.

There might be a "myodbc3d.dll" in 3.51.18 (not
decided yet), but it would have the same features
as the normal one, just debug compiled for more
easy debugging in Visual Studio and similar.

In 3.51.18 the driver level tracing will be removed.
We recommend the use of driver manager tracing. On
Windows, this can be enabled in "ODBC Data Source
Administrator" that you can find from the Control
panel and "Administrative Tools".
