Question

I am having problems using the data tool with MySQL. What is the problem?

Answer

In order to run the Data Tool with MySQL, you must have the MyODBC driver installed on the machine on which the Data Tool is running.

You can download it here:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html

If you are having connection problems, it could be that your MySQL installation is running with a non-default port number. In this case, ensure you reflect this in the server field of the Data Tool as follows (replace server address and port number as appropriate):

mysql.mysite.xyz;port=9999
