MySQLJDBC works in Max 4.6 and above (including Max 5 & 6) The MySQLJDBC MXJ object provides max with a simple interface to the MySQL Connector/J native Java driver that converts JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) calls into ------------- INSTALLATION: ------------- - If you haven't done so, Install MySQL and make sure it is running (covering installing, using, and running MySQL is beyond the scope of this doc. Try a Google search or similar for more details on this. Some references are provided below) - Download the MySQL Java Connector class from here: http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/j/ For developers details on this jar and its use can be found here (also see the resources below): http://dev.mysql.com/usingmysql/java/ - place the mysql-connector-java-X.X.X-bin.jar file in your /Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/ folder (or whatever folder you may have defined as a classpath in your max.java.config.txt file found under /Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/) NOTE: do not place it in a subfolder or else it will not work. In otherwords don't copy the entire distribution to the classpath, just the jar file. - place the MySQLJDBC.class file in your /Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/classes/ folder - Start max. In the max window you should see something very similar to: /Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/mysql-connector-java.jar The included help file provides some simple examples. NOTE: The help file assumes you have already created a database called "maxmsp", with a user name "maxmspuser", and password "mathews". ---------------- ONLINE RESOURCES ---------------- ..:For Everyone:..
