Each time I run a query using MySQL Query Browser (version 1.2.12) I get the
error:

Access violation at address 00C0D717 in module 'LIBMYSQL.DLL'. Read of
address 00000088

The first address isn't significant and may be different after a reboot,
don't know about the second address. I've used MySQL without problems on a
number of Windows PC but this is the first time I've tried using it with
VISTA. Any ideas (short of moving to a non-Vista pc)? Should I report it as
a bug?

I've cross posted across a small selection of newsgroups because I'm not
sure which is the most appropriate.

TIA.

In my experience, moving to a non-Vista machine is always the best
option.

Moving to a non-Vista machine is not an ideal option, hence the comment in
my post "short of moving to a non-Vista pc". I have a work around which is
to run MySQL QueryBrowser in a virtual pc running Windows 2000, but I'm
looking for a solution which avoids this.

I'm keen to know whether others have encountered this problem on Vista, i.e
is it a vista problem or something specific to my installation.

I guess it depends where you're coming from. IMO, using Vista is
always far from ideal.

That used to be my impression (and to be honest still mostly is) ... but if
you have a "super dooper" machine then Vista just about matches xp for
performance, and Vista does have some nice features. Since my new desktop is
a quad core beast with as much RAM as it will take and a respectiable
graphics card, Vista does work quite well. However we have machines in the
office that would fly if they were running XP but only crawl because they
run Vista. That said, even with a "super dooper" machine there are still
compatibility issues with some software not running which worked fine on XP.

So in most cases I'd agree with you.

On this particular MySQL issue, I still don't know whether its a Vista issue
or an issue with my installation ...

do yourself a favor and re-image one of the "older" boxes with some
version of Linux - which generally includes mysql - move your db to this
host and you will see database speeds that cannot be matched on any
windows box... This would be an n-tier architecture and because of the
new db speed you should not notice any performance degradation.

Speed isn't an issue. Nor is migrating to Linux an option, since I have no
wish to learn to support another operating system. MySQL runs quite happily
on my Vista pc, its only MySQL Query Browser that I'm having issues with -
any suggestions relevant to my original post would be welcome.

Okay. Quoting from http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/administrator/

"MySQL Administrator is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac
OS X 10.3, 10.4, and is compatible with MySQL version 4.0 or later. On
Windows platforms, MySQL Administrator is supported on Win2k/WinXP and
Windows Server 2003."

Note the lack of Vista listed. The Query Browser doesn't list specific
versions of Windows supported, but it wouldn't be TOO unreasonable to
assume that it's built and written to the same standards, especially
since QB and Admin share a version number.

Good observation. Thank you.

Since its been over 2 years since the last release of MySQL Query Browser, I
suppose I can rule out a quick fix. Looks like I'll have to live with it or
find another tool (that does work reliably on Vista).

SQLyog seems like it may support Vista better.

I prefer it to QB even on XP, but that's probably mostly because I'm
much more used to it.
