Solved Where to install a db connector?
-
Hello!
I have a Windows machine where I wanted to test a simple console example program that connects to MariaDB using QODBC connector (downloaded and installed from MySQL website). The connector was recognized on the administrative tools as a data source (The ODBC Unicode 8.0 driver), configured the connector inputing the parameters of my database, ip, user and password with no problem.
Then made a test inside the program and connection was success..
Now, my client and server test was done using the same machine so I'm wondering where do I need to install and set the ODBC connector?.. client or server side?
If client side, then does that means each client needs to configure its ODBC connector each time him/her install the program?
Thanks.

ODBC connector is a client-side connector to a database. So needs installing on each client, and needs whatever configuration there.I don't know what installation tool you are going to use (e.g.
windeployqt
?). and whether that will offer some way of doing the configuration at that point. -
Thanks man... Still don't decide which installation tool to use... may be some kind of wizard..
Thanks.
