Microsoft DSN and MySQL

Post by Paul Oertel »

Could someone tell me if it is possible to set MySQL as the data source in the Windows ODBC control panel?

Thank you,
Paul

You need an ODBC driver for this. I use MyODBC which is an ODBC API/Driver for MySQL. You can find the current stable release here:

http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-myodbc-2.50.html

Choose "Driver DLLs only..." and be sure to read the Release Notes before you install.
