Anerror message from Data Direct ODBC drivers for MySQL is shown when trying to connect to MySQL Community Servers database using DataStage ODBC enterprise stage or trying to import the table definition from the same database.IBM Information...

I had tried installing the mysql-connector-odbc_8.0.22-1ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb package and it had complained about not finding the mysql-community-client-plugins package. I tried a few variations of apt-cache search mysql-community-client-plugins to locate this additional package but nothing came up.


I have gone through the following steps to install from the more generic unix files - MySQL :: MySQL Connector/ODBC Developer Guide :: 4.2.2 Installing Connector/ODBC from a Binary Tarball Distribution


It doesn't work for me as well for the version mentioned upper (and Connector/NET 8.0.33 as well)



The solution mention upper to downgrade to the 8.0.16 version (Connector/NET) works for me (Exit Power BI application, remove old installation of old connectors, install the 8.0.16 version, and then reopen the Power BI desktop solution and it should work).



The version 8.0.32 works for me as well (by following the same step as above (exit the Power BI Desktop app, install the 8.0.32 version, and then reopen the Power BI desktop solution and it should work as well)


I tried everything. This is ridiculous.



I end up with seting up data pipiline with a python connector connecting to the mysql database and retreiving data as csv file



then I will connect that csv file to the power bi...



Thanks Microsoft


UPDATE: I went to install MySQL Community on a fresh device and the dialogue box came up with a mandatory upgrade : Connector/NET 8.0.31 (Upgrading Connector/NET 8.0.16) - see attached. So maybe this is a fix from MS/Oracle? it would be nice to know so that we can all use the latest version - MS/Oracle are you there? can you respond?




Hey I'm on Windows 11. I had the same issue with MySQL Connector Net 8.0.29. My fix was uninstall MySQL Connector Net 8.0.29. Then I installed an older version. MySQL Connector Net 8.0.23 to be specific. Seems like bug with version 8.0.29. On the download page click Archives tab to try an older version.


When I look at the ODBC Data Source Administrator on my desktop (where the query fails), the drivers tab shows 2 MySQL drivers: MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI Driver and MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver. I tried uninstalling the MySQL drivers and installing the latest MySQL drivers with the same error.


Sounds like a bug in Toad Data Point. We bundle our own mySQL drivers, so the error you are getting should not be a problem. What version are you using? Can you download the latest Toad Data Point, which is 4.1?


Yes, I am attempting to run the query in TDP. Yes, windows is a 64 bit version. I did uninstall the MySQL ODBC drivers, and installed the 64 bit MySQL ODBC drivers. The download file is entitled: mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.7-winx64. Do you think I need to reinstall using a different file?


As for the latest version, all efforts to search the Ubuntu repository for the ODBC driver are in vain: of all the repositories listed in the software sources, none of them include the libmyodbc package. According to the Ubuntu version history, the package used to exist but has been deleted due to a certain bug.


Thus, MyODBC that uses libmysqlclient functions incompatible with MySQL 5.7 is not supported by Ubuntu 16.04 at the moment. Once the work on MySQL 5.7 is finished, Ubuntu developers may get it back into the release. However, there is a chance it is never going to happen.


Next, does your MySQL or other database contains a sensitive data that has to be secured and protected? Or do you need to be in compliance with GDPR, SOX or HIPAA?Check DataSunrise database security and data masking software or download the trial.
