How do I connect MySQL database to a VB.NET 2015 application?
In order to connect to MySQL Database, you need to ensure below things:-
MySQL Connector is installed
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
Define connection string as Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
Or consult following link to suit your situation http://www.connectionstrings.com/mysql-connector-net-mysqlconnection/
Rest is same as you work MSSQL or OleDB connections.
I want to add a MySQL instances that is running as a RDS service through Amazon Web Services as a Linked Server in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Does anyone know of any information on how I can set this up?
What I want to be able to do is query data from my MySQL server from the local Micorsoft SQL server and then combine the data into other queries.
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(MySQL_Link, 'SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE name = 'test')
Do you already have the ODBC connection set up to connect to the instance?
Unable to connect to remote mysql server using unixodbc, libmyodbc
I would think that once you have that working, you would be able to use the same process for creating a linked server to MySQL
I hope this is helpful.
I know how to use ODBC to connect to a MySQL database on the same machine, but now I want to know how to connect to a MySQL database on another server across the network.
Write the database computer's name or IP-address after Server= in the connection string.
For example:
Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User=myUsername; Password=myPassword;Option=3;

I want to connect to a MySQL database but the only connection available is a telephone line, a dial-up connection. I'm using vb.net 2005 Express for my project. All local connections are working the only problem is how can i get the server to connect, like IP to connect to establish a connection.
Thanks!
I have installed Crystal Reports 2008 on my Windows PC at work.
We have an internal MySQL server which has data which we need to access. I have the IP address, port, user, password and database-name.
When I fire up Crystal Reports, and run the Report Creation wizard, it gave me a slew of ways to connect to various data sources, but not MySQL. I tried ODBC, but it asked for a connection string. How do you make a proper connection string for MySQL? Is ODBC even the right way to go?
