"Offline" application for mySql

[cyclic]

Hi

I have a database driven website (villa rental) running in php/mySql.

I want to access the db and pull down data to use with a non-browser application for admin tasks such as sending out directions etc. What is the best way to do this? I have looked at Delphi but cannot easily get a mysql connection.

MySQL has ODBC Support [dev.mysql.com], have you looked into that?

Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone had experience of the best api to use. Is VB ot delphi the only option?

You could use whatever development tool you would like, as long as it supports ODBC.
