Hi Dave, Unfortunately, I don't have an answer yet. I am still trying to get the damn thing to work. I had ZMySQLDA working until I tried to run a query. Then I got the same error that I got when using MySQLdb. Right now I am in the process of wiping everythin out (short of Linux itself) and will try a re-install. I hate doing this because I still don't understand the source of the problem! Anyway, I'll keep you updated... Eric

Greetings,

So What was the answer????????? I am going to attempt an upgrade of MySQL. Dave
