arghh. Neither postgres nor mySQL fully supported, even in 7.

[Dr. Hawkins]

Trying to have something usable by others while I get the server going, I
took another try at mySQL today--and, after a few hours and web searches,
got reminded why I stopped . . .

Livecode can't handle  multi-line mySQL transactions in a single livecode
transaction!  You need to send the commands individually, and then commit
(A non-starter for me, as the enemy is network latency, not bandwidth or
load on the SQL server).

Whereas this is not a problem in postgres--but livecode hasn't implemented
ssl for postgres (which I suspect is only a few lines of code).

So until I have my server written, access will remain only through VPN . . .
