MyConnect Plugin is a plugin for the 4th Dimension programming language that allows easy connectivity to a MySQL database.

MySQL is a popular database platform with connectivity options for many programming languages such as PHP, Perl, Python, TCL, C, Java etc. This means you can easily access your database from a variety of applications written in a variety of programming languages.

The plugin provides features such as rowsets and prepared SQL statements. Rowsets are much like a selection of records in 4D, making it easy for you to browse through the result of a query. Prepared SQL statements make it easy for you to construct valid SQL statements without having to worry about the proper use of quotes.

Here is a short list of all the available features:

• Supports MySQL up to version 5.0.
• Open multiple database connections simultaneously.
• Work with multiple row sets.
• Allows forward and backward navigation through row sets.
• Easy construction of SQL statements.
• Support for picture and blob fields.
• Support for stored procedures.
• Support for multiple statements and multiple result sets.
• Support for connection compression and automatic reconnect.
• Includes example code to clone a 4D database to MySQL.
• Available for Mac OS X and Windows.
• Works with 4D version 6.7 and higher on Windows or 4D 2003(*) and higher on Mac OS X (10.4 and up).
• Compatible with 4D v11 SQL

* Please note that 4D Client 2003 on Mac OS X does not automatically download plugin bundles. To make the process of distributing such plugins easier, you can use the free BundleLoader plugin.
