I don't see anything about creating jdbc connections or MySQL connections in this. I've looked through the SequelLink documentation and can't find anything either. The documentation seems to insist that one use ODBC, but I don't see anything about making and ODBC resource for MySQL or other jdbc connected databases. Perhaps I'm missing something.

David,
the procedure for configuring SequeLink to use a MySQL ODBC connection is not different from what described in the MS Access example. The SequeLink version available to Stylus Studio users does require ODBC drivers; it won't work with JDBC.

But I don't want to use the MySQL ODBC driver. I want to connect to
MySQL and other databases such as HSQL with JDBC. Why does there have to be such a platform restriction to such a useful tool? I see something about using JDBC with DataLink. Why can't I do that? The instructions are a little obscure but shouldn't this be possible?

I don't understand the reason for this. What is it doing that requires a native database call? I understand that jdbc-odbc driver is generally poor, but calling a Java database with its own jdbc driver (which in that case is native) shouldn't be a problem.
