But this is really BAD, so I need to keep two versions of REALBasic  
or change the V4RB plugin depending on the server version of the  
customer! I need to do deploment test twice and so on and so on.

What about a switch, so one can configure V4RB with a parameter like  
mySQL "use_old_password".


The changes are really welcome, due to security, but keeping two  
version will for now kept my away to update!!!!
