环境：xp+vb6+mysql-5.6.13-win32+mysql-connector-odbc-5.2.5-win32
一、首先要下载MysqL，其次要下载MysqL的odbc驱动。
odbc驱动的安装很简单，双击就可执行。
MysqL不用安装，解压就行。但它的服务的启动比较麻烦，需要用到cmd，下面是我电脑上的启动过程：
1、
Microsoft Windows XP [版本 5.1.2600]
(C) 版权所有 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd c:\
C:\>cd mysql-5.6.13-win32
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32>cd bin
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>MysqLd
2014-03-25 09:18:18 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is depreca
ted. Please use --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp server option (see documentati
on for more details).
启动之后，cmd窗口就卡在那里，如果需要关闭服务，就要新开一个cmd窗口，然后像上面一样，cd进MysqL目录，执行：
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>MysqLadmin -u root -p shutdown
Enter password:
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>
2、上面这种方法是临时用的，一般来说还是注册成服务，执行：
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>MysqLd --install MysqLabc
Service successfully installed.
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>net start MysqLabc
MysqLabc 服务正在启动 ..
MysqLabc 服务已经启动成功。
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>
另外，停止服务是net stop MysqLabc，卸载服务是MysqLd --remove MysqLabc。MysqLabc是服务名，你可以起其他的名字。
在cmd窗口里面调试sql语句，执行：
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>MysqL -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MysqL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

MysqL> create database abc character set gb2312;
Query OK,1 row affected (0.03 sec)

Bye
C:\mysql-5.6.13-win32\bin>
二、当安装了驱动，启动了服务之后，就可以开始代码工作：
引用Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0 Library
引用Microsoft ADO Data Control 6.0 (OLEDB)控件。
添加两个文本框，两个命令按钮，一个Adodc控件。
