Oracle HS (12c) - mysql

Question

I'm trying to set up HS from a 12c database that will eventually send data across to a remote MySQL server.
I have installed the odbc driver;
root ~ # rpm -ivh mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.4-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
This is my listener.ora file;
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ap-ora-records-test.ap.local)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
This is my tnsnames.ora file;
RECORDSDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ap-ora-records-test.ap.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = recordsdb.ap.local)
)
)
MYSQL =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=ap-ora-records-test.ap.local)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MYSQL))
(HS=OK)
)
I connected to the database, and created the database link;
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK MYSQL
2 CONNECT TO "root" IDENTIFIED BY "removed"
3 USING 'mysql';
Restarting the lsnrctl;
./bin/lsnrctl reload
./bin/lsnrctl stop
./bin/lsnrctl start
./bin/lsnrctl status

I then tried getting a piece of data - SQL> SELECT * from MYSQL.users#mysql; which gave the following result;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MYSQL
Where am I going wrong?

USING 'mysql';
