Syntax for dbsource?

[JJZolx]

To run with a separate installation of MySQL, what's the syntax to use in the dbsource setting in the prefs file? Here's what I had prior to the merging of the split-scanner branch:

dbsource: dbi:mysql:dbname=slimserver

Here are the new default settings using the Slim installed MySQL:

dbsource: dbi:mysql:hostname=127.0.0.1;port=9092;database=%s

Are the hostname and port required or will they default to localhost and to the standard MySQL port? Do you just substitute the database name in place of '%s'?

They will default. %s gets substituted to 'slimserver'.

This is my dbsource line:

dbsource: dbi:mysql:database=%s

They will default. %s gets substituted to 'slimserver'.

This is my dbsource line:

dbsource: dbi:mysql:database=%s

So for a database name other than 'slimserver', I take it that it's simply

dbsource: dbi:mysql:database=someothername

What was 'dbname' prior to the merge is now 'database'?

Yes.

>What was 'dbname' prior to the merge is now 'database'?

'dbname' was the syntax that the SQLite driver used.

To see the syntax for a particular driver:

perldoc DBD::mysql
perldoc DBD::SQLite

etc.
