Comment by Erick Katzenstein on December 11, 2012 at 5:38pm: When I query the face vertices from a mesh database, it shifts the face list. For example, if I have a four vertex mesh, the databse will give me a face of T{1;2;3;4} when I really want T{0;1;2;3}. I'm subtracting 1 from each value right now to get the desired result, but I just wanted to let you know in case there are issues with other users.

Comment by Nathan Miller on June 7, 2012 at 3:09am: Hello Erick,

I have corrected the syntax issue with the new build (0.882)... see the new discussion above. 2 new components are also available for testing.

Comment by Nathan Miller on June 6, 2012 at 3:17pm: Erick,

Since you are just using MySQL, see if you get the same error with version 0.82 available on Food4Rhino. http://www.food4rhino.com/project/slingshot

The SQL syntax for that component in that version seems to be correct.

I was trying out some vertex color in the new version and must have forgotten to circle back before releasing v0.88... sloppy work on my part. I will correct in the next release. For now, stick with v0.82 if you need that component.

Comment by Erick Katzenstein on June 6, 2012 at 3:06pm: Thanks for looking into this. I'm using the most recent version of Slingshot and MySQL.

Comment by Nathan Miller on June 6, 2012 at 2:08pm: Hello Erick,

I just took a look and it might have to do with the INSERT statement for the vertices is expecting a 'color' value for that column... which is not being provided with the values. I tested the component on my end before release so I will verify if this is, indeed, the problem.

Can I ask if you are using the most recent version or an older one? I'll add this fix to my list for my next build.

Comment by Erick Katzenstein on June 6, 2012 at 12:30pm: Nathan, thanks for all your hard work.

I'm having trouble with the Create Mesh Database component. When I insert a mesh (basic mesh sphere), and put this into the command line, I get this error:

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException (0x80004005): Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

I checked the mySQL database and the table seems to log faces but there are not values for the vertices. Any suggestions?
