Setup ODBC Connection to MySQL Database

This article will not go through how to setup a MySQL or Microsoft SQL server, but make sure you have downloaded at least the MySQL ODBC Connector from here .
For this article, I downloaded the MySQL ODBC Connector 5.1.
The setup of this connector is pretty simple:
  • Open your ODBC Data Source Administrator from the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools. Under the tab labelled as "System DSN", press the "Add" button.

  • On the "Create New Data Source" dialog that appeared, choose MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver and then press the "Finish" button.

  • After that, a MySQL connection configuration dialog will appear. Add your MySQL database account information in it, preferably the "root" account which has full access to your databases in MySQL. In this case, my database is called "tigerdb". Do not change the port to anything other than 3306, unless during yourMySQL server installation, you have defined something else.

  • Press the "Test" button to ensure your connection settings are set properly and then the "OK" button when you're done.
