installing ODBC driver

I visited at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-myodbc.html for downloading ODBC driver.

And I downloaded it by clicking Windows downloads(Driver DLLs only 3.51.06).

As I unzipped the downloaded file, I can see 7 files.
They are COPYING, INSTALL-BINARY, myodbc3, myodbc3.dll,
myodbl3d.dll,README, AND RELEASE-NOTES.

But I can't install the ODBC driver because I might not have the proper program in my system for opening them. I can't even open README file.


Which program do I need for installing the ODBC driver?
Which one should I click for installing the ODBC driver?

Thanks in Advance

I can read "README" with notepad now.

I tried to read it for almost 17 hours.

How foolish I am!

As I read the README file and some other files, I am scared because it seems not easy.

And I don't think that I can do it by myself.

Is there any easy explanation for installing ODBC drive with step by step example?

I found an easier way to installing ODBC driver.

If I choose 2.50 version instead of 3.52 version, It has the setup file.
I could downloaded at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/2.50.html.

As I install it, I can see "mySQL on the ODBC driver list".
It was quite a progress, but I have still a long way.

I can see seven input boxes in TDX mysql Driver default configuration.

They are like the following.

Code:

---

windows DSN name  "test"
mySQL host(name of IP) "localhost"
mySQL database name "test"
user "test"
Password "test"
port(if not 3306) "  "
SQL command on connect "  "

---

I entered "test" windows DSN name box, mySQL database name box, user box,password box like the above.
Before that, I made a database named "test", and a user named "test" which has the password "test".

I thought "localhost" might be the correct word for entering in the mySQL host box. so I entered it.

Since mySQL port is 3306, I left the port box empty.

Since I don't have any clue about what is the correct word for entering in the SQL command on connect box, I left the box empty.


Below those input boxes, there are 19 check boxes.
I won't list all the names but I say I didn't check anything because I don't know about that.

And clicked the OK button.

(Q1)Do you see anything wrong with my entering?
(Q2)What is the meaning of the SQL command on connect?

I am waiting for your any comments of you on this matter.

whether my entering was right or wrong, I did it in the window of "TDX mysql Driver default configuration".

Now what?

How can I test the ODBC is correctly work?

I gave up ODBC.

I concluded ODBC is not a good way for Sharing my DB with others.
I'll find another way
