Googling didn't help
Funny because copy-pasting "MySQL Connector/J" into Google got me the source code as the first result.
But if you're looking for source code for a free application, the most convenient way I've found is to look up the related package in Ubuntu (or Debian) and download the related source code.
It works best if you're using them, you can simply use aptitude search / apt-get source combo to download it. But if you're using another operating system, you can simply do a Google search like site:packages.ubuntu.com mysql connector/j
The source code for MySQL Connector/J can be found on GitHub:
https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j

I am trying to connect to AWS Athena via my Windows as well as Mac system. My goal is to have a SQL Editor that I can use to perform quick research about the data. I was trying to find tools and tutorials for connecting to Athena. So far I have only found some tutorials around SQL Workbench. What are some other tools that you guys leverage and is there something particular that you like about that tool and how easy was it to setup either on Windows/Mac.
I use SQuirreL SQL for connecting to Athena. It has served the purpose so far. Once you import the JDBC drivers(you can download them from AWS's site) the tool itself is pretty straight forward to setup. The URL that you can use to connect can be seen here -
jdbc:awsathena://AwsRegion=<AWS Region>;User=<AWS Access Key>;Password=<AWS Secret Key>;S3OutputLocation=<S3 folder>
I'm pasting the "Overview" of SQuirreL below:
SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical Java program that will allow you to
view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in
tables, issue SQL commands etc, see Introduction. The minimum version
of Java supported is 1.6.x as of SQuirreL version 3.0. See the Old
Versions page for versions of SQuirreL that will work with older
versions of Java.
SQuirreL's functionality can be extended through the use of plugins.
A short introduction can be found here. To see the change history
(including changes not yet released) click here.
For a more detailed introduction see the English or German of our
paper on SQuirreL.
Susan Cline graciously took the time to document the steps she
followed to setup an Apache Derby database from scratch and use the
SQuirreL SQL Client to explore it.
Quite some time ago Kulvir Singh Bhogal wrote a great tutorial on
SQuirreL and published it at the IBM developerWorks site. He has
kindly allowed us to mirror it locally. The tutorial is not really up
to date but especially for doing the first steps it is still of help.
SQuirrel was originally released under the GNU General Public License.
Since version 1.1beta2 it has been released under the GNU Lesser
General Public License.
Another tool that I have used pretty extensively is SQL Workbench. This is also sort of recommended on the AWS site. The is good, but I found that it would hang up sometimes and I would loose my work.
Both of these can be easily downloaded from the links provided or if you like to use CLI then Homebrew can be used on MacBook or Chocolatey on windows
Some other tools that you can use are DataGrip by JetBrains. Guide to setup the tool can be seen here. The functionality of DataGrip is also built into IntelliJ Ultimate Edition.
DB Visualizer is another tool that can be used to connect to AWS Athena the guide to connect can be found here
TeamSQL and Razor SQL are some other tools that you can leverage.
One of the strengths of JDBC drivers is that as long as a tool supports JDBC, you can use it for any data source which has a JDBC driver. First, get the JAR file for the JDBC driver for Athena here: Amazon Athena Connect with JDBC. Java works across platforms, so as long as you have Java in your Windows/Mac environment, you should have no problem using any of these tools.
The tool SQL Workbench/J is fairly popular, but I find it frustrating to work with when switching between multiple databases.
Another tool is Squirrel SQL, which also supports JDBC drivers. I prefer it, but it looks a little less pretty than SQL Workbench/J. Once you've downloaded the JDBC driver, configure it in SquirrelSQL by going to Drivers and then adding a new one. Label it "Amazon Athena" and specify the Example URL as jdbc:awsathena://AwsRegion=[Region];User=
[AccessKey];Password=[SecretKey];S3OutputLocation=[Output];
[Property1]=[Value1];[Property2]=[Value2];...
Leave the Website URL Blank, but specify the Class Name as com.simba.athena.jdbc.Driver. Add the .jar file of the JDBC driver to the "Extra Class Path" page.
Once you've set up the driver, you can set up connections by going to the Alias tab and hitting the plus sign. Simply fill in the values in the example URL to point to your data source. Once you're connected, you're good to start writing queries.
SquirrelSQL saves the connection information for you, allowing you to quickly jump between data sources, and makes it easy to write multiple queries in one input window, with their outputs going to separate tabs in the output pane. I've used it for database, exploration, DDL, and regular day-to-day tasks with data. It's been good for most anything I've connected it to. It is definitely not perfect, but it's getting better all the time.
I guess you need a Docker SQL Editor that you can use to perform quick research about the data.
But I suggest two ways.
One is Offline/Online and with installation methods, which you can use with a fixed connection.
The first solution is to select a system as a server and connect to it from other operating systems. This is the traditional / old solution.
In the second solution you just need to be trained to work with Docker. This is a newer and more popular solution.
if you want use MySQL in MAC read this article :
Installing MySQL in a Mac OS X environment
If you want use MySQL in windows read this article :
How to Install MySQL on Windows
But you need a synchronous space for use MySQL or other DBMS you can use docker.
Docker is very Flexible . But you need connect to internet.
If you want use Docker read this article and view docker site :

Excuse me, I would like to ask about how can I connect Delphi with MYSQL with ZeosLib. I already know the steps but I can't get it yet cause when I change the Properties in ZConnection where Connection = True, it can't. And this is the message
By the way, my OS actually Linux Ubuntu and I have to use VirtualBox to work on it.
So if there's somebody know this, I'm begging you guys to help me.
You need to download the dynamic link library that the error message is referencing. The following link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/8.0.html takes you to MySQL Download page for the latest version of MySQL 8.0.13, or go to this page if you are on a 5.X version https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
Download the appropriate file 32bit or 64 bit and install it. Find the installed libMySQL.dll and put that file in the same directory as the executable being created by Delphi
You may instead set the Zeos Connection Component's Library Location property to the directory that the dll is located in.
I have got a similar project and I used this link:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Tokyo/en/Connect_to_MySQL_Server_(FireDAC)
and it's working.
But if you mean : set the "connection := true" in designtime, you have to use the platform assistant under the linux as well.
Trying to open MySQL Utilities in the MySQL Workbench and get the following error:
"The command line MySQL Utilities could not be located. To use them, you must download and install the utilities package for your system from www.mysql.com. Click on the Download button to proceed."
However, when I go to the address and download/install, this does not fix the issue.
How do I fix or get around this issue?
I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bit
in error the system is not able to recognize it (MySQL Utilities could not be located) and in default assumes thats Python has been installed and the whole library are developed with Python :
The library is written entirely in Python, meaning that it is not necessary to have any other tools or libraries installed to make it work. It is currently designed to work with Python v2.6 or later and there is no support (yet) for Python v3.1.
so if you don't have Python on your system just install and its should fix the problem.
I have downloaded the MySQL community server and extracted the files from the .tar file. But how do I install it? I simply cannot find a easy way to to this, or any method for that matter. Or is it already installed after tar xvf MySQL.tar? And also, when installing the .pkg version, shouldn't it create the files anywhere? Finally, the community server is the one used with django right?
Thanks in advance!
I would suggest using the .dmg version. It's an easier way of installing mysql, it can be a pain http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
If you are developing and testing, do you really need to use MySQL? You can use sqlite which is bundled with Python.
As Vezu suggested, the best way to get started with the server is to download the binary installer - the mysql-5.5.24-osx10.6-x86.dmg file.
If you plan to use it with Python, you will also need to install MySQLdb for OSX. For that, see this answer for a link to steps you need to follow.
I need to be able to read/write to a mysql database using Perl. On all previous servers I have been able to use ppm-shell do download and configure the DBI module for mysql (mysql-dbd I think). However on one particular server, I don't have internet access.
Is there an easy way to get this installed? I'm on Windows 2008 Server by the way. I'm not brilliant at Perl either so if anyone can give some easy to understand instructions I'd really appreciate it
Thanks
Download the module from here http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/
install via the command line:
ppm install filename.ppd
Get the module. ( this can help: http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=PPM_Repositories)
and do: ppm install FILE.ppd
