[snip: remainder of thread]

Yesterday I added a new section to the GLPK wikibook,
recording what Andrew had said:

  http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GLPK/ODBC#MySQL_support

I hope this new entry does not add to the confusion!

When I get better view of the problem and solution,
I will revise that entry accordingly.

best wishes, Robbie
