revOpenDatabase (GRRRR ....)

[Chris Sheffield]

Hi Jean-Pierre,

The Rev docs are incorrect I believe. Someone (I can't recall who, I  
apologize) pointed me in the right direction not too long ago. The  
correct syntax is to put the port number in as the last parameter. So  
your code should look like:

put revOpenDatabase("MySQL","localHost","Anagram",root,root,"8889")

Also, if "root" is your user name and password, it should probably  
also be enclosed in quotes.

Hopefully that'll get you going again.


Chris
