Connect Dreamweaver CC to MySQL

I know the old way of connecting to SQL in DW is deprecated in CC. While I can install the depraced extension, I would like to do things right. The only way I have EVER connected to SQL was using the DW database window. I know no other way, and I have been searching for a tutorial of the right way to now do this. Does one exist? I am pretty good coder, but when it comes to this stuff I am admittedly lost. I work in a Mac environment.
My hosting company has been of little help. I was trying to get them to tell me the MySQL Server I should place in the deprecated extension. They couldn't. There site says "localhost" is wrong, but gives no indication of what is right. Very frustrated.
I am trying to move me site to a more powerful hosting environment. I have successfully uploaded all my files and imported my database from the previous host. If I can just get my site to connect to the SQL database I can complete the move.
Any help would be appreciated.

PHP offers three ways to connect to and interact with a MySQL database:
MySQL
MySQLi (MySQL improved)
PDO (PHP Data Objects)
The original MySQL extension is no longer actively developed and is not recommended for new PHP/MySQL projects. Hence the reason why this feature has been dropped from DW.
There are many reference books and online articles that are helpful in database connections, simply do a Google search on
php crud tutorial mysqli
A good book which has been written by David Powers is called
PHP Solutions Dynamic Web Design Made Easy, Second Edition
I should add that in PHP circles MySQLi is preferred above PDO.

Connecting to an online mysql database

Good morning,
I've been developing a website using Dreamweaver, Coldfusion,
and MySQL on my local computer. On the localhost the website works
well. Now I'm ready to upload my pages and need to update the data
source so my pages can access the MySQL databases hosted by
GoDaddy.com. I've had no luck talking with their customer service
about which driver / which port I should use to make the
connection. I understand that Remote Development Services (RDS) is
disabled on their server. Am I missing any steps? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tony

Connection pool issues with Mysql

Hi,
I have defined sufficient read connections (50) in the toplink configuration, I am finding toplink is not releasing the connections in Mysql, this is when run from Jboss App server.
Is anyone aware of toplink connection pool issues with MySql?
thanks

TopLink always closes connections, I cannot see how this could occur.
Please include your persistence.xml or sessions.xml. Also ensure you are closing your EntityManager or ClientSession, especially if using exclusive connections.
Also include the exception you are getting.

CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL - Delete Record Server Behavior?

When I try to insert the Delete Record server behavior. I get an error message about a DeleteRecord.js file, which seems to be missing or defective. I cannot use the server behavior. I have a file that I developed using CS5, and it does indeed delete the record, but does not proceed to the destination I want. I cannot change that except in the server behavior, so I'm stuck. I have noticed that server behaviors seem to disappear without apparent cause, as it seems to have in this case. I will appreciate any suggestions! Is there any way to embed a call to a target page manually? All is working WITHOUT the server behavior appearing, but I want to go to a confirmation display page that shows the record is indeed deleted, and we just return to the (now blank) delete confirmation page. That'll drive a user bonkers!
Thanks!
Delete Record in CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL?

Well, your error message is self-explanatory.
DW stores ServerBehaviors in 'Configuration' folder in installation directory. If one of the behavior JS files is missing/ corrupt, you'll see the error message you just did.
I've uploaded a functional, proper version of DeleteRecord.js onto my site for you to download. Here's the link:
http://www.sudarshan.me/adobeforum/dw/app/behavior-js/DeleteRecord.zip
Download this file, extract it and put DeleteRecord.js file in your installation directory as follows. If prompted, 'replace' your local copy:
Mac: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 > Configuration > ServerBehaviors > PHP_MySQL
Windows: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\[language]\Configuration\ServerBehaviors\PHP_MySQL
It should work as expected.
If that still doesn't solve the problem, reset your DW preferences and cache and try doing it. Follow the instructions here to reset cache: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
Let us know how it goes.

Specify variables for username and password and connect with the MySQL database using the mysql_connect() function. The username “root” does not require a password by default.
Specify the server parameter of the mysql_connect() method as localhost:3306.

Connecting to a LIVE mySQL database via Dreamweaver (ASP)

Hi All,
Have a bit of of an issue with connecting to my live database... I've created several sites in PHP and each time its been really easy to set up a connection to the live database (on a shared server), and work using live data... but I can't figure out how to do it when working on an ASP (vb) site!? Can anyone direct my on how to do it please? ... or direct to some documentation on the subject? Cheers!
Regards,
Dan

Sorry for jumping into the thread with a bit of an off topic question, but how do you find out what kind of a db the asp server is using? I've asked my company's web host a number of times for info/help in getting connected using Dreamweaver so I can redesign our site and I never hear back from them. It's a very specialized web hosting server set up for rubber stamp web sites. Looks like most of their customers use the online website design tool that they provide, but it is very limited in what it can do. Very limited.
They give me ftp access and I've changed what I can on the page, but with out access to the db it's hard to really change the look of the site.

Connecting dreamweaver to xampp database

I was just wondering if any one knew how to set up a mysql connection from dreamweaver to xampp
dreamweaver and xampp are running well its just im new to this stuff so there are some things i dont know how to do
the error code that appears tells me that there is no testing server on the server machine
and that the testing server for the site does not match the url prefix
if anyone could give me advice it would be great

You will have to set up the testing server.
In the site menu -> manage sites
choose the site to manage -> edit
choose the advanced menu -> testing server
make sure all the paths lead to your site.

You love Dreamweaver and want Mysqli

I offer you using dreamweaver 8.0.2 with updute
install mx kollection 3.7.1 and phakt 3.7.1
I collected php 5.5 compatiple codes around internet
I tested it all. No error
and onother great thing is about mysqli
with phakt you can develop mysqli based web sites without coding
for futher information ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP
because phakt based on ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP

Really it is true. During all day I tried to find a solution About how to develop a site mysqli based with dreamwEver. As you know adobe does not care server behaviors any more. I thought that there should be right way to reach a solution. Then I remembered phakt extension and mx collection. because both of them support each other. phakt extension was an alternative server behavior to dreamweaver'. It support almost all database connection including mysql. When you install phakt extension and mX collection in fact they are not compatible with php 5 but then you can update including files. You can find compatible fileS. Search on google interaktonline they updated uncompitiple files. And main problem was phakt files. Because there was not solution about phakt files. I managed to update compatible files. In fact there was single code to be added AdodD. İnc. Php then replace this file with original comes phakt. After all it worked great. Insert delete update fetch recordedset connection user login registration etc all works great. Now I low dreamweaver much more dreamweaver is great tool. Do you need help or have question I am ready. I don't make business it is my hobby really

Dreamweaver CS3 with MySQL

I've created a stored proc in MySQL5.1 and can view and
execute it through MySQL. When I go to Dreamweaver CS3 and view my
existing database connection it doesn't detect the stored
procedure. I've tried starting and stopping the mysql and
coldfusion services but that didn't work. I've closed and opened
Dreamweaver. I've rebooted my machine but still no luck. I've
checked the coldfusion settings and I'm allowing stored procedures
on that connection. I have no idea what else to try. What do I need
to do to fix this?

I'm not sure about ColdFusion, but Dreamweaver doesn't
support MySQL
stored procedures with its PHP server model. MySQL added
support for
stored procedures only in version 5.0. Most of the database
related
functionality in Dreamweaver predates MySQL 5.0.

Dreamweaver CC and MySQLi?

We know all about the brilliant move (sarcasm) to remove the server behaviors from Dreamweaver and have to now rely on a deprecated extension to get them back. What I want to know is Adobe not planning on supporting MySQLi?
If you insert a Select field in a form and try to bind it to a dynamic source it will not recognize a MySQLi recordset. (I have to rely on a third party extension just to get MySQLi into Dreamweaver to begin with.
I loved the days when Macromedia cared for and built great software for developers. Seems as if Adobe only cares about design.
Anyone care to answer while I go looking for real development software...16 years of loyalty down the drain...

Hello,
At DMXzone we've already released (in Sept 2013) a full set of extension for connecting to your database(s) and managing your database content. A great replacement of the old server behaviors technology to create new dynamic web apps built the Ajax way! The extensions are based on PHP PDO / ASP ADO.
The Database Connector as well as the Database Updater feature a great Database Connection Wizard, fully visual Query Builder to make your work a breeze.
They are available for PHP and ASP
You can check the Database Connectivity Collections and learn more about the features of the extensions on our website:

ODBC connect from Oracle to MySQL!

Dear All,
I know its not very much related to the subject of this forum but DBA's often have to perform such tasks.
I am in process of developing replication between Oracle and MySQL. For this I have planned to create materialized views in oracle that query MySQL database.
I am using Oracle 11gR1 on Linux for Oracle Server and MySQL is on windows based server version is 5.1.
I am stuck at the very first step that is to create a database link between Oracle and MySQL.
On Oracle's server, I did the following:
Installed unixODBC rpm (Installed successfully)
Installed mysql-connector-odbc (Installed successfully)
when i write this command odbcinst -j it gives the following information
unixODBC 2.2.11
D|RIVER........... : /etc/odbcinst.ini ; (my comments : Files exists)
SYSTEM DATA SOURCE : /etc/odbc.ini (my comments : File exists )
USER DATA SOURCE : /root/.odbc.ini (my comments : File DO NOT exists)
Now i tried to add the following entry in the file /etc/odbc.ini
[bssdata]
Driver = MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver
DATABASE = bssdata
DESCRIPTION = views_on_bssdata
PWD =
PORT = 3306
SERVER = 192.168.0.68
UID = root
Now when i try to check the connectivity with the command:
isql -v bssdata root
Error: data source name not found, and no default driver specified.
ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
Anyone have tried this before, please help me out of it.
Regards, Imran

Connecting Dreamweaver to Access 2007 database

Hi, I am relatively new to Dreamweaver CS3; I have built a
database in MS Access 2007; I'm looking to do either of the
following;
1. Put the database form on the web, so users can enter
information straight into the database or/
2. Create a front end form in Dreamweaver and link it to my
database
Ideally, I would like to do #1
This is an internet website, not an intranet website.
Any help would be appreciated as I am growing frustrated.
Thanks,
Raymond!

That makes ASP easy to install, but ease of installation does
not
necessarily mean ease of learning.

There's a very good reason for that. Microsoft stopped
developing ASP in
2000. Although ASP is widely supported, and will continue to
be for the
foreseeable future, it's a technology that's going nowhere.
Anyone just
starting out to learn how to build a database-driven website
would be
better advised to learn one of the technologies that remain
in active
development. That means ASP.NET - which has a steeper
learning curve
than ASP - ColdFusion, or PHP.
Another important consideration is which database to use.
Access is not
designed to be used on a website. It works fine for small
websites that
don't get many visitors, but it creates bloated files, and
locks up when
traffic increases. Although MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server
are more
difficult to learn, they are a much better option for a
website.
I'm biased in favour of PHP and MySQL because I write books
about them,
but I would seriously advise Jedi7 to choose anything other
than Access/ASP.

Unicode issues connecting Crystal Report to MySQL 5.0

Post Author: Charles Wong
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi,
We are developing a web application by PHP 4.4.5, Crystal Report XI developer edition (English version), MySQL 5.0 and English Windows 2003 server.
MySQL has been configured to store unicode values in all levels. In other words, connectivity, server itself, tables, etc are set to unicode.
In the web browser, PHP can store and show special Portugues characters (e.g. çã), Chinese (both traditional and simplified) normally. In MySQL browser, all these values can be shown successfully.
In Crystal Report, both Traditional and simplifed Chinese characters show as ???, however. The connection between Crystal Report and MySQL is throught MySQL ODBC 3.5.12 version.
Does anybody know why? Any special setting needed in Crystal Report or in MySQL or in ODBC???

Post Author: Charles Wong
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi All,
I'm replying myself.
I read something in the Internet. Somebody said Windows and Crystal report use UCS-2 (or UTF-16?) as the unicode encoding scheme. In our the system, we set to UTF-8. Can this be a problem?
