Gambas ONE

Ok, finally there is some joy. I wound up using phpmyadmin to create the mysql database (I will delve into mariadb later on and also conquer mysql workbench.)

Database opens fine now.

Ahhhh... I forgot about phpmyadmin, although I noodled around in it a few years ago for a website I was building. Will check that out. thanks.

I tried adding the db.debug line, and didn't get any output from it. Also tried changing localhost to numerical address. That also didn't work. Database opens fine in mysql workbench. Update - apparently I am trying to use the mysql workbench file, not the actual database. Now I have to figure out h...

Bruce, Thankyou for the tip on MariaDB, I will check that out. I tried taking out the close connection, but still got the same error. It is stopping on the last line - getdb.open() Also I noticed the following in the console: mysql_opt_reconnect is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

Thankyou - I just found the workspace icon. I do believe their will be magic in my nutrition program today!

Thankyou for getting back to me on this.

How do I create a workspace to begin with? I think I may need to add some components, but it isn't recognizing gb.form.mdi.

my recipe program, I would like to have more than one open at a time, hence the need for multiple instances of the main output form. In Visual Basic I would use MDI. How do I achieve this in Gambas? BTW... a few sites say create a workspace - but instructions aren't working from this site: https://g...

Bruce, I will see if array of arrays do what I need them to do. Was considering collections or using files for each dimension, but that would make a mess out of my very elegant for/next loops (Yes I am proud of that tIny snippet of code in VB). For me multi-dimensional arrays are like the innards of...

Bruce, Sorry about that. I edited my post so types is in its own discussion. Sometimes it seems like I ask a ton of questions, so I wanted a smaller presence. Lucille ( A request: Lucille, please don't put multiple questions in a post. Some people will answer one and others the other. Trying to fig...
