DB Access in standalones

[Devin Asay]

I am building a standalone for OS X 10.2.6 (Rev v. 2.0.2, Commercial 
Enterprise license). The app uses database calls to a mysql database on 
my file server. In the development environment it works perfectly. I 
built an OS X distribution, taking care to include the db libraries. 
However, the standalone does not successfully contact the database. 
Instead I get a revdberr, invalid database type. (I chose to include 
error messages during distribution building.

One puzzling thing: The standalone gets built with two folders in the 
same folder as the application package: database_drivers and 
revdb.bundle. I thought this was strange, because I'd understood that 
the db libraries were supposed to be put into the app package. So I 
moved them into the package. Now when I launch the app and try to 
connect to the database, it still fails, but I don't get the error 
message.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
