I finally have a test patch and it actually works!!

I had a little bit of trouble getting it to work initially so I figured I would post my difficulties here in case anyone else wants to use this functionality. First, obviously, you have to go to the website and dowbload the object. (please see former jitter post). Once you download it, you have to make sure that the libmysql.dll is in the same folder as the max/msp application. Then you have to make sure that the object, mysql.mxe is in the common files/cycling74 folder. On a PC this would be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cycling '74.

So far it does not seem that there is a mysql object for the MAC??? This may be wrong, but my search has not yielded any results. Also, if you are using dreamhost you have to go into the database user profile and make sure that you delete everything after the percent sign for where you can access the databse from otherwise it will not let you access from anywhere but dreamhost.
