I found the following problems in /install_resources/sql/mysql/js-create.ddl MYSQL does not like "TYPE=InnoDB" it wants "ENGINE=InnoDB" for table create statements Also "maxValue" is a reserved word so it cannot be used as a column name create table JIDataType ( id bigint not null, type tinyint, maxLength integer, decimals integer, regularExpr varchar(255), minValue tinyblob, maxValue tinyblob, strictMin bit, strictMax bit, primary key (id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB; I can change TYPE to ENGINE myself but what can i do about the column name? Does this mean MySQL cannot be used with Jasper Server anymore? thanks kemal
