Hello, A new question has been asked in "Development" by isyed. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/connecting-issue/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- Hello. I've just downloaded and started using the C/C++ connector library (v.2.1.0), libmariadb.dll. I had simply dropped it in as a direct replacement for the MySQL C connector library (v.6.1.6 x64), libmysql.dll. While it works as expected, there is an unduly long lapse during mysql_real_connect(), lasting for about fifteen seconds, before the connection is established. With libmysql.dll, the connection is almost immediate. Might there be any additional setting that I may have missed to prevent this lapse? Thank you. -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/connecting-issue/
