To use MySQL Connector, you must download and install the JDBC and ODBC drivers on your Windows or Linux machine where the Secure Agent is installed.Before you use MySQL Connector, complete the following tasks:1Install the MySQL JDBC driver. 2Install the MySQL ODBC driver. Installing MySQL JDBC driverBefore you use MySQL Connector, install the MySQL JDBC driver and MySQL ODBC driver on the Windows or Linux machine where you installed the Secure Agent.Perform the following steps to install the MySQL JDBC drivers on Windows or Linux:2Select the required Product Version.3Select the Operating System as Platform Independent.4Download the .zip or .tar file based on your Windows or Linux system.5Extract the downloaded file and copy the mysql-connector-java-.jar file.6Paste the mysql-connector-java-.jar file in the following directory on the Secure Agent machine:- On Windows: \apps\Data_Integration_Server\ext\drivers- On Linux: /apps/Data_Integration_Server/ext/drivers7Set the MySQL_JDBC_DRIVER_JARNAME parameter to mysql-connector-java-.jar for the Data Integration Server service in the Secure Agent's system configuration details in Administrator.8Restart the Secure Agent.Installing MySQL ODBC driverBefore you use MySQL Connector, you must install the MySQL ODBC driver on the Windows or Linux machine where you installed the Secure Agent.Installing MySQL ODBC driver on WindowsPerform the following steps to install the MySQL ODBC driver on Windows:2Select the required Product Version.3Select the Operating System as Microsoft Windows.4Select the OS Version as Windows (x86, 64-bit).5Download the ZIP Archive mysql-connector-odbc-noinstall--winx64.zip file.Note: Do not use the MSI installer because it removes the existing MySQL ODBC driver versions from the system.6Extract the .zip file. 7Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and navigate to the extracted .zip file location. 8Run the following command in the command prompt: Install.bat After you install the MySQL ODBC driver, check if the installed MySQL ODBC Unicode Driver name appears as one of the available ODBC drivers under the ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) dialog box:The following image shows the MySQL ODBC 8.0 Unicode Driver driver name in the ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) dialog box when you try to create a new data source:Installing MySQL ODBC driver on LinuxPerform the following steps to install the MySQL ODBC driver on Linux:2Select the required Product Version.3Select the Operating System as Linux- Generic.4Select the OS Version as All.5Download the Linux - Generic (glibc 2.12) (x86, 64-bit) file.6Extract the downloaded file to a local directory in your system. Note: When you extract the file, ensure that you copy all files from the downloaded driver package.7Edit the /odbcinst.ini file and add the following values:[MySQL ODBC 8.0 Unicode Driver]Description = ODBC for MySQLDriver = /lib/libmyodbc8w.soSetup = /lib/libmyodbc8w.soFileUsage = 1In the Driver and Setup fields, you must specify the file path of the libmyodbc8w.so file that you extracted to the local directory in your system.Prerequisites to configure SSL with serverless runtime environmentYou can use the serverless runtime environment with MySQL Connector to connect to an SSL-enabled MySQL database.Before you configure a secure MySQL connection using the serverless runtime environment, complete the following prerequisite tasks to add the SSL certificates to the serverless runtime location:1Create the following structure for the serverless agent configuration in AWS

Install MySQL on Windows using an account that has administrator rights. Otherwise, you may encounter problems with certain operations such as editing the PATH environment variable or accessing the Service Control Manager. When installed, MySQL does not need to be executed using a user with Administrator privileges. For a list of limitations on the use of MySQL on the Windows platform, see Section 2.3.7, “Windows Platform Restrictions”. In addition to the MySQL Server package, you may need or want additional components to use MySQL with your application or development environment. These include, but are not limited to: To connect to the MySQL server using ODBC, you must have a Connector/ODBC driver. For more information, including installation and configuration instructions, see MySQL Connector/ODBC Developer Guide.Note MySQL Installer installs and configures Connector/ODBC for you. To use MySQL server with .NET applications, you must have the Connector/NET driver. For more information, including installation and configuration instructions, see MySQL Connector/NET Developer Guide.Note MySQL Installer installs and configures MySQL Connector/NET for you. MySQL distributions for Windows can be downloaded from See Section 2.1.3, “How to Get MySQL”. MySQL for Windows is available in several distribution formats, detailed here. Generally speaking, you should use MySQL Installer. It contains more features and MySQL products than the older MSI, is simpler to use than the compressed file, and you need no additional tools to get MySQL up and running. MySQL Installer automatically installs MySQL Server and additional MySQL products, creates an options file, starts the server, and enables

Chapter 5 Tutorial This chapter provides a tutorial introduction to MySQL by showing how to use the mysql client program to create and use a simple database. mysql (sometimes referred to as the “terminal monitor” or just “monitor”) is an interactive program that enables you to connect to a MySQL server, run queries, and view the results. mysql may also be used in batch mode: you place your queries in a file beforehand, then tell mysql to execute the contents of the file. Both ways of using mysql are covered here. To see a list of options provided by mysql, invoke it with the --help option: $> mysql --help This chapter assumes that mysql is installed on your machine and that a MySQL server is available to which you can connect. If this is not true, contact your MySQL administrator. (If you are the administrator, you need to consult the relevant portions of this manual, such as Chapter 7, MySQL Server Administration.) This chapter describes the entire process of setting up and using a database. If you are interested only in accessing an existing database, you may want to skip the sections that describe how to create the database and the tables it contains. Because this chapter is tutorial in nature, many details are necessarily omitted. Consult the relevant sections of the manual for more information on the topics covered here.

Check that the necessary drivers are installed and that the connection properties are valid. [MySQL][ODBC 5.2(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '' (10060) Unable to connect to the server "". Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges to the requested databaseWhen you try to connect directly to the same MySQL database with a MySQL Connector or a similar application from the computer running Tableau Server, the following error might occur:Connection Failed: [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 5.2(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '' (10060) EnvironmentTableau ServerMySQL ResolutionInstall the latest version of MySQL driver from Tableau's Drivers page.Work with your MySQL administrator and/or IT network administrator to ensure that the computer running Tableau Server is allowed to connect to the MySQL database.If you have a distributed installation of Tableau Server, all computers running Tableau Server must be able to connect to the MySQL database.Some common problems that prevent connection include:A firewall on the computer running Tableau Server might prevent outgoing connections for MySQL port (default - 3306).Problems with the Domain Name System (DNS).MySQL database might be configured to accept connections only from certain IPs. In this case, the IP of the computer running Tableau Server should be in the list. CauseThe computer running Tableau Server cannot establish a connection to the MySQL database.
