5.1-23 is for 7.3-2 and above.
5.1-11 doesn't say, but I can't find it anyway.
I've got 4.1.16 installed, but I want to access Filemaker Pro data tables, and it says it's interoperable with mysql5.

Can anyone point me at a suitable version of mysql?
Or give me any tips on talking to filemaker pro?

Thanks
Chris

Chris,

there is no kit of MySQL for VMS version below 7.3-2 on Alpha and 8.3 on Itanuim.

I suspect, that MySQL will probably not build on older version, MySQl need a lot of C RTL feature which are not include in old VMS version.

Any reason to not upgrade to 7.3-2 whic is the recommended version, 7.3-1 is unsupported.

I'm not sure if they've got the 7.3-2 dist or not.
They don't have a system manager either - I left some 3 years ago, and there's no-one else - I still do a bit of work remotely, and that's it.

They've now decided they don't want to keep the filemaker pro that their acquisition used (don't want to pay £2k for it), so the need has gone away.

Thanks anyway
Chris
