Hi there,

so I finally mynaged to recreate your problem. On my machine it seems to be occuring when you attempt to access an empty table within the MySQL (in this database I have 6 tables, one of them which is currently empty. I only get the problem when I try to select that one).

So, the question is, do you have any empty tables in your MySQL?

If that is the case, then maybe this is a bug of some sort

Best regards, Jakob

Edit: If this is indeed caused by a specific table, have you tried loading the data by manually writing LOAD *; SQL SELECT * from yourtable

I've made another observation here: now, the table is not empty anymore, but contains non-standard characters. Seems to cause the crash. I'll keep you posted as I discover more.

Hi everyone,

found a solution that works for me.

Previously, I was using the 5.1.11 MySQL ODBC drivers.

Switched to the 5.1.9 Version of the driver, now it works just fine for me.

I can´t find that driver - do you have a link?

I can't find the link either. I pulled it from my company's software drive.

I've attached the file, so that you can test if it solves your problem.

I'll supply a direct download link if I can find one.
