newbie question conencting to MySQL

Classic Servoy
1

New user trying to connect to a MySQL database.
Documentation states a JDBC driver for MySQL
is pre-installed, but only the following drivers
appear in the driver list:

com.sybase… (five different sybase drivers)
org.postgresql.Driver
org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBdriver
net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

None of these seem appropriate, although the
latter looks like a driver to connect to ODBC
sources.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

That seems to me as a mistake in the docs, relating to an older version.

It is not obvious, because of the license scheme from MySQL, that Servoy ships the driver.

You should (and can) download the driver at the website of MySQL!

Hope this helps

This thread should be set sticky, or better yet the PDFs updated. This tripped me up as well when I first started.

BTW ignore the above link to a driver, you should always download the latest and appropriate (best fit for the version you use) driver!
