MySQL and JDBC connector version

Post by ponsdv »

Hi,

I want to connect <oXygen/> version 13.0 with MySQL Community Server for Win-32. The current version of the DB is 5.5.16 and the current JDBC driver is Connector/J 5.1.18. Would that combination work with my <oXygen/> version? Would I have to do something special to make that happen?

On your website http://www.oxygenxml.com/database_drivers.html you only refer to MySQL 5.0.21: mysql-connector-java-3.1.12 which was released in May 2006.

Hello,

Most of the database drivers from that page are obsolete. The page has not been updated for a while, I'll submit a request to update it.

Oxygen will work with the latest MySQL JDBC driver.
Follow these instructions on How to Configure a MySQL Data Source.
Then How to Configure a MySQL Connection

Let us know if you encounter any difficulties.

Regards,
Adrian
