UseLogPrefix

0

No

Description

This option specifies whether the connector includes a prefix in the names of log files so that the files can be distinguished by user and application.

Set the property to one of the following values:

  • 1: The connector prefixes log file names with the user name and process ID associated with the connection that is being logged.

    • For example, if you are connecting as a user named "jdoe" and using the connector in an application with process ID 7836, the generated log files would be named jdoe_7836_simbamysqlodbcdriver.log and jdoe_7836_simbamysqlodbcdriver_connection_[Number].log, where [Number] is a number that identifies each connection-specific log file.

  • 0: The connector does not include the prefix in log file names.

To configure this option, you create a value for it in one of the following registry keys:

  • For a 32-bit connector installed on a 64-bit machine: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Simba\Simba MySQL ODBC Driver\Driver
  • Otherwise: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Simba\Simba MySQL ODBC Driver\Driver

Use UseLogPrefix as the value name, and either 0 or 1 as the value data.

To configure this option, you must use the simba.mysqlodbc.ini file.
