Well, StackRunner 1.5 was built using the 2.7.2 engine (see the  
bottom of the page at http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/ 
downloads/StackRunner.htm), so it's possible that the mySQL commands  
were changed between 2.7.2 and 2.7.4.

However it's more likely that you don't have the mysQL database  
drivers in the right place... StackRunner has the revdb external in  
it so you can make database calls, but it is not bundled with all the  
database drivers. These drivers should be in the "Database Drivers"  
folder of your 2.7.4 installation and include something called  
"dbmysql.bundle" which you'll need to connect to in order to use  
mysQL from StackRunner.
