Hello.<br />
<br />
I would like to develop a Domino application which uses as its data store a MySQL db.<br />
<br />
I waas hoping someone could offer some advice on what is required for this to be set-up i.e. how do I tell tell Domino about the MySQL db so that I can write agents to create, update, read and delete data. <br />
<br />
I have written agents many many years ago for Domino applications to use SQl Server as a back-end db but I have forgotten what I did to allow the agent to access the data - I know about setting up connection, creating SQL etc<br />
<br />
It is what is required for Domino to know about the MySQL db that has me confused.<br />
<br />
I hope someone can help.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
<br />
Chris

Domino 8 and MySQL

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
