[odb-users] Visual Studio 2017 - LNK1104 cannot open file 'odb-mysql-d.lib' for Hello World

[Allan Head]

Replacing odb-mysql-d.lib with odb-mysql.dll.lib and replacing odb-d.lib
with odb.lib in the VC project file worked.  However, when I run the
following command from a VS Command Prompt:

driver.exe --user <my user name> --password <my password> --database
odb_test


I get the following error message:  "operation can only be performed in
transaction".  Looking at driver.cxx the inserts for john, jane, and joe
appear to be taking place in a transaction.  Any suggestions?
