Distributing MySQL ODBC

[dxtore]

I have an developed a local win32-app that accesses a MySQL database on our server. This app is used by an increasing number of clients accessing the same MySQL database on our web-server through MyODBC.

Any tips on how to set up/install a new client's ODBC (MySQL) with the correct user & password WITHOUT revealing the password.

What i'm looking for (i guess) is a file containing the connection param's (including the password) for MyODBC that can be mailed to the client with all the coonnection param's already set.

Hope anyone understands what i want.

regards tore

You can setup a file datasource, or have a look at registry.
It is a BAD idea to hardcode user names in application or its installer
