That's usually ODBC and JDBC.

Here are some notes and some pointers:

Or load MySQL directly onto OpenVMS, and use it locally.

My notes from a MySQL install on OpenVMS:

Hi,i just found that UnixODBC can install in openvms and connect to Mysql,but i downloaded the open source ,and i found that it only can be installed in Alpha ,anybody used it under Itanium?

If the source code is functional on an OpenVMS Alpha box, then recompile and relink the source code on your OpenVMS I64 box, check any diagnostics issued, and see if the results work. Port it, in other words.

Likuair, if you're using PHP, then the remote MySQL database is accessible natively from any server.

Hi likuair

We use the C API ported by Jean-François Piéronne available at

for both Alpha and Integrity.
