I have a development server running under VM on Windows Server 2003. I set it up a while ago and it has MySQL 5.0.15-nt-max installed. I am using Crystal 9 and the MySQL ODBC driver 3.51.12. I had no problems at all viewing tables etc. We recently set up the production server (also running under VM) with the latest version of MySQL at the time 5.0.26-community-max. When I try to connect to this server I cannot see any tables. I checked that permissions and system variables were identical on both servers and have granted all to root and used root in my ODBC setup. I have checked a load of newsgroups and it seems Crystal solved this problem back in 2003, with a new version of crdb_odbc.dll, which I now have after installing the hotfix above. I can still see tables in our MySQL4 databases and the development MySQL5 database, just not the 5.0.26 live database. So what has happened between 5.0.15 and 5.0.26??? or could it be something else, something to do with the server? I have run out of ideas, so am converting my reports to used stored procedures (most do anyway). The disappearing table problem may have just reappeared in MySQL despite the above patch.
