MySQL connection problem

[[Deleted]]

Hy! I read a lot of article in this topic, but I don't find the solution for my problem. I had a code which is work fine before upgrade MQL4. (My last upgrade was about 1 years ago, so I know a lot of things changed.) But now my MySQL connection doesn't work. I insert the code, and the error messages. If someone can help, please, give me some easy solution. Thanks.

it need to MySQL connection again.

数据库连接断开了，要求重新连接。你重新打开MySQL客户端吧，再试一次，应该就行的了。

Guys, any luck. I am having the same problem. Error 2005. This was a program which was working perfectly but now it just can't connect to the DB. Can anyone help?

Atihu - If you have the soln for this, can you please share for the benefit of everyone.

I would also be interested in a solution to this if anyone has one.  Currently trying to get TickInMySQL.mq4 up and running it can't connect to mySQL

From https://www.mql5.com/en/code/11114

"Since build 600 of MT4 was released, it's no longer easy to communicate with DLLs that use ANSI format for strings because strings in MQL4 are now in UNICODE format (read more here)."

libmysql.dll should not work right of the bat anymore, need some string manipulation. More details in code above.
