what database?

hi! what database can i connect with livecode?
i know for sure that you can connect Mysql to livecode, someone knows how to create a free Mysql database that doesn't expire? (i created one but after some time i received an email saying that my account has expired)
thanks!

Buongiorno Samuele,

check "revOpenDatabase" in the dictionary to see a list of databases that are compatible with LC.


Best

Samuele,

Livecode can connect to SQLite, Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases using the integrated drivers and also to any other database using ODBC if you have the appropriate ODBC driver installed.
Regarding your MySQL question: If you have access to a web hosting package you could use the MySQL database or Maria database (which is compatible to MySQL) included in that web hosting package instead.

Or you could install and use Maria SQL on your own computer using the free Xampp development environment https://www.apachefriends.org/de/download.html.

Regards,
Matthias
