One of my hosting providers HostM.com has been offering a free LiveCode-based MariaDB/MySQL API solution. It was previously available only to clients who needed this setup.

I told them about the widespread interest in the LiveCode community for such a solution, and they’ve kindly made their API demo available for free download by any LiveCode developer.

You can download it at:

Hope this helps!
