Vista and MYSQL ODBC

I've downloaded the MySQL 3.4+ and 5.1+ ODBC connectors
(WINDOWS Vista Home Edition), and the installer says everything is
fine. But when I go to create a DSN connection in Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, Data Sources (ODBC) to add the new
connection, the driver never shows up. Anyone run into this?

Vista and mysql

Hi
took a few days but finally up and running on a new system
with vista
ultimate.
Ok I reinstated everything but now when I try tocreate a
database connection
I get the following error
your php server does not have the mysql module loaded or
you can't use the mysql_(p) functions
Some hints would be appreciated I'm using IIS7 and when I run
the phpinfo
command it is displayed in local host. The php ini has mysql
and mysqli un
commented together with gd2 and xsl. Could'nt find the
multi-byte string
extension in the ini file- could this be the problem?
thanks
Ian

Was this issue resolved?
I have the same problem now. DW was working fine the one day and the next when I started it it had this connection problem.
I am testing on my local PC. My sites is at http://localhost/
All my connection are working because if I go to http://localhost/index.php I can see my site and if I go to http://localhost/register.php I can even register a new user. It will include the new user details in the data base and everything is working fine. So there is nothing wrong with the connection.
In DW I do have http://localhost/ on the Local Info screen. As I said, all was working fine on the current setup the one day and the next day it did not want to work.
Seems like a very common problem.
I want to buy CS4 and surely hope that the problem has been fixed by now.

Can't Find ODBC drivers to link MS Access 2013 and MySQL

Can't Find ODBC drivers to link MS Access 2013 and MySQL.
Is one available?
Thanks,
Larry

Could to associate the problem at Office 2013?
I just installed the ODBC Driver; The data source machine was available; When selected I had received the message. When it was selected I had received the message:
"ODBC -- falha na chamada.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] O DSN especificado contém uma incompatibilidade de arquiteturas entre o Driver e o Aplicativo (#0)"
In english, could to say: "ODBC -- fail on call.
... The specified DSN contains a architectural incompatibility between Driver and App (#0)"
I don't know yet the reason for this. Anyone knows?

Oracle and MySql via ODBC - Field with special characters

Hi,
I recentely installed and configured DG4ODBC 11.2 in my environment, with Oracle 10g as Database. I have a working ODBC and I can successfully select from tables@mysql.
I have a problem with some fields in the mysql table though: various fields are named "Attività", "Località" and so on. Please, note the "à" character.
Now if I select @mysql from some table with normal field name everything works fine. But in some case I have this error:
[MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysqld-5.0.77]Unknown column 'A1.attivit??A commessa'
in 'field list' {42S22,NativeErr = 1054}
The field true name is "attività commessa" and if in a test database I rename the field changing that "à" with a normal "a" everything start working. But of course, that is a production database and I can't change the field name.
Anyone faced that problem before?
My init entry:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = myodbc5
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=32
HS_FDS_FETCH_ROWS=1
HS_LANGUAGE=ITALIAN_ITALY.I8EBCDIC280
set ODBCINI=/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
set SQL_MODE='ANSI_QUOTES'
Note: I added HS_LANGUAGE and SQL_MODE but tried even without those entries and it's still not working.
My odbc.ini:
[myodbc5]
Driver = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
Description = MySQL Driver DSN
SERVER = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PORT = 3306
USER = user
Password = pass
Database = sm_test
OPTION = 3
SOCKET =
CHARSET = latin1
P.S.: Please don't kill me, I'm not the creator of the Mysql database with those field names!

I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
SQL> desc test;
Name Null? Type
ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
My character set being used is:
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8ISO8859P15
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
BYTE
So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.
Edited by: kgronau on Sep 28, 2011 9:21 AM
To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc TEST;
---------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
---------------------------------------------------+
| attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
---------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
Name Null? Type
attività VARCHAR2(80)
So in general it should work.

ODBC Connectivity with Crystal Reports 2009 and MySQL

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. We are currently running Crystal Reports CR Developer version 9.2.2.693 with an ODBC connection (ODBC 3.51 driver) to a My SQL database, version 4.0.18.*
We want to upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008, CR Developer version 12.0.0.683, however when I try to run reports to the current database, I get the following error:
*Database Connector Error: 2300:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.0.18-nt]You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near .client where 0=1 at line 1 [Database Vendor Code: 1064] *
Has anyone encoutered this before? Do I need to get a different rev. ODBC driver? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your suggestion, but since the same query works when I use Crytal Reports 9 to the same MySQL database, I don't think that's the issue. I wonder if it has to do with the driver.

Listener error with dg4odbc and mysql

Hi all,
First of all, sorry for my English, I'm learning :-)
I'm trying to create a dblink from oracle to mysql, but for now this seems impossible. I have read lots of manuals and post, but no way. I can connect to remote mysql server with "isql my_portal", so, unixodbc and the mysql driver for odbc are working in the server.
The oracle database 10.2 is installed in a Red Hat 64 bits server. Due to hsodbc for 10.2 is only for 32bit i installed the gateway version for 11g without problems (no errors showed, so...) But I have always the same error: "TNS-12541: TNS:no listener dg4odbc" But my configuration seems correct. Can anyone find the error in my config? Thank you

Thank you for the response. The problem was the solved when change the 1.2.0.40 to 42 :-)
Another issue I saw is your ORACLE_HOME - did you install DG4ODBC in your 10.2 OH?Yes, the documentation said that is certified to work with Oracle 10.2.0.4 that is our version, is this a problem? (¿...?) I had no problem to install dg4odbc with the universal installer.
But I have another problems now. I can't remember the exact error, but my first problem was solved adding this line to initmy_portal.ora:
HS_FDS_QUOTE_IDENTIFIER="'"
Now, when I try to make a select oracle returns this:
ORA-00942: la tabla o vista no existe

ORA-02063: 2 lines precediendo a MY_PORTAL_DBLINK
The table exists, I'm sure, and if I change the query to other tables the result is the same: the table doesn't exist. Any idea?
Thank you for the help

BO DS - MySQL ODBC driver on Win7 64 bit

Hi
We have installed BO DS klient tools (Designer) on Win 7 64 bit. We have also installed the MySQL ODBC driver for 64 bit and created the DSN. The test of the DSE is successfull. When we try to log on to the DS server with DS we get the error message:
EROR: ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> for data source <my_system> failed: [MicroSoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Te specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application. BODI-1111340
Has anyone seen this error before and dos anyone know how to fix this?
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Windows 7 is still not supported even on the latest version of Data Services - XI 3.2 SP2. This may explain your issue. An example of supported desktop product for this version is Windows XP SP2 Professional, Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1. Please check the supported platform document in our Service Market Place (http://service.sap.com)
Hope this helps.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES Error while Connecting to MYSQL ODBC Driver

Hi
I'm getting an strange error message when i try to connect a LC PDF form to
MYSQL DB using MySQL Connector /ODBC 3.51 Driver
Here is the complete detail how i was trying to build a connection
string :-
I Opened a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 Ver.9.0.0
Clicked on Data View Pallete --> New Data Connection --> selected OLEDB Database radio button --> Build a Connection string (clicked on build button) --> selected MS OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (the default selected option ) --> clicked on Next >> button --> Use connection string (radio button) --> Build connection string on clicking Build button --> Select Data Source windows opens --> Clicked on Machine Data Source tab --> created a new data source (with User Data Source) --> Selected the MySQL ODBC Driver (MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver) --> Clicked on next button and then Finish
A Connector/ ODBC 3.51.28 - Add Data Source Name window opens up which have the DSN connection details (DSN Name , Server , user , password , database).
I put all the default details
After this i got a error message saying that
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has encountered a problem and needs to
close. we are sorry for the inconvenience
I tried this number of time and was getting this error message every
time i try to put the DSN Detail and trying to connect to the DB. This
was really irritating.
Can somebody's what's the Issue . Is this a Resource Conflict or
something else
P.S :- I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 Ver.9.0.0 with Windows XP and MySQL
Connector /ODBC 3.51 and the DB Connection is working good for MS
Access( though i don't need MySQL Connector fot this ).
Any Help would be highly appreciated
Thanks Alok

Crystal Reports Server 2008 (Linux) - Crystal Reports/MySQL/ODBC Issue

Hello,
I have successfully installed CRS '08 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 server. All services run fine.
In the CMC, I have uploaded a Crystal Report that connect to a remote MySQL server.
I have installed the My SQL ODBC 3.51.11 and .12 Drivers as a System DSN.
I have proven that the reports run fine in Crystal Reports 2008 directly against the remote MySQL DB server.
(in Windows but with the same 3.51 ODBC Drivers)
I have also proven that the database connection works okay from the CRS '08 Red Hat server to the remote MySQL DB server, when also creating a system DSN (using bash ./ODBCConfig)
The problem is that when I log into the CMC or InfoView, and when I run the Crystal Reports from there, I get an error message:
"Error in File <MyCrystalReport>: Failed to load database information"
Is there something wrong with my specific Crystal Reports' Database Configuration? (Right click- Database Configuration)
I see the driver was registered correctly in the /etc/odbc.ini file
Am I supposed to set any other ODBC environment variables?
Is there are firewall issue (port 3306 is already open)?
In summary, the install was successful, and Crystal Reports can be uploaded and viewed via CMC or InfoView, but I cannot run the Crystal Reports against the database.
Please advise, Thanks!

Hi, I'm facing a similar problem. My ODBC DSN never works with CRS. Here are the details: 
(1) I installed the CRS 2008 in /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/ on a Linux platform. The CRS works well. I created a report with Crystal Reports 2008. This report directly connects to a MySQL server. After I published the report and manually modify its database configuration, I can browse it from InfoView. I'm sure that CRS, MySQL, and a report connecting to MySQL are all good. 
(2) Then, I created an ODBC DSN on a Windows platform. This DSN connects to a MySQL server. I created another report with Crystal Reports using this DSN. The report can show the data within Crystal Reports. 
(3) Then, I published the second report to CRS, but when I try to browse it, I always get such a message: Failed to open the connection. 
I have configured the ODBC for CRS on the Linux server and I think the configuration is correct. This is how I do that: I edited the /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/bobje/odbc.ini file. In the file I added a data source called ods_telstar. Following is the content of the file: 
[ODBC Data Sources] <

PORT = 3306

In the middle I removed some data source definitions that are by default in the file. Note that I use "xxx" to replace the server name, user, and password. Such information is for internal use and I'm sure the original information is correct. The MySQL ODBC driver file has been put in the correct location. Correct access permissions has been assigned to the file. 
I've tried to restart the CRS server, but still the report using ODBC DSN cannot be viewed. 
The reason that we want to user ODBC DSN is that we may have many reports to publish. When we design the reports, we specify that they get data through an ODBC DSN such as ods_telstar. If we configure the same DSN on CRS, then we don't need manually modify each report's configuration after we publish them. If these reports are directly connecting to MySQL, then we have to manually modify each one's database configuration after we publish them. 
I've no idea what's wrong with all the setup. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated!

DAS Can't connect to mySQL ODBC

Using: HPS 8.3 Sun Solaris 8 I've created a BQY in Intelligence Explorer that connects using mySQL ODBC in Windows XP and wanted to publish it to the web, but I needed to publish the OCE to the server and set it up with DAS. Here are the steps I took 1. Installed the mysql connector odbc 3.51.12 sun solaris2.8 sparc 64bit ODBC in Solaris. 2. Created an odbc.ini file in Solaris with my mySQL connection settings in the home directory of the user running the services. I even made a copy of it in the $BP_HOME directory. 3. Added the library path for my ODBC library to all my scripts. 4. Added the data source using the service config tool. 5. Restarted services 6. published the OCE and BQY When I access the BQY using the plug-in, it gives me "Server Error [2009]; Internal Error Detected in Data Access Service" When I access it using the thin-client (iHTML), it gives me: "An Intelligence Service error has occurred.-Failed to acquire requested service" What else needs to be done? I tried some the other suggestions to no avail: --added the library path to the LD_PRELOAD variable in the $BP_HOME/bin/services.sh script Also, I noticed that when I ran ServiceConfig.sh, there were no data sources to pick from the dropdown. Anyone know how to make that active so I can just PICK the connection to use?

I'd strongly recommend that you take all that JDBC code out of your JSP. Put it into a class that you can test on the command line. Once you have it working, you can use it to get at data and pass it along to your JSP for display.
I'd also recommend that you not use scriptlets and learn JSTL right away. MVC separation suggests that putting Java code in a JSP is a very bad idea.

OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 & MySQL ODBC on linux. Generated SQL is wrong.

Anyone know how to fix this situation?
We are running OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on Redhat Linux 5.3 with MySQL ODBC connector.
When connecting to MySQL we have need to connect to multiple databases.
Problem is that OBIEE is generating incorrect sql.
Example:
select * from db_name..table_name;
Note the two dots between db and table.
This is incorrect syntax for MySQL. Should be only 1 dot.
But I can't find a way to get OBIEE to only use 1 dot.

MySQL is not a supported Datasource.

Problems with MySQL ODBC install on Linux

Oracle 11gR2
Linux 6.3
I am using the Oracle ODBC Gateway and trying to configure for connectivity to MySQL.
Can anyone forward me:
(1) link to MySQL ODBC Driver
(2) instructions on how to install
I have tried installing the following and I am getting dependency errors:
[root]# rpm -ivh mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.10-1.x86_64.rpm

The MySQl ODBC driver requires an ODBC Driver Manager (libodbc.so.2). So please make sure you first install an ODBC Driver manager (for example unixODBC Driver Manager release 2.3) using an RPM or compile it from the soiurce files (www.unixODBC.org).

Crystal Reports 2008 Server and MySQL DataBase source for reports

Hello,
I am having an issue with crystal reports server 2008. I have created a report on my local machine with crystal reports and the datasource is a ODBC connection to a MySQL database.
The report works fine on my local. if i publish to the Crystal Reports Server, i get an error when i try and run the report.
"error Failed to open the connection. "
I have gone into the database connections for this report and put in the connection details. I have also created a ODBC connection on the server in windows to the actual database (installed both the 32bit and 64bit ODBC drivers, both Test succesfully). But when i go into crystal no matter what settings i try it will not work.
anyone have any ideas?
kthank you

I have solved the issues. This may be usefull for anyone ...
1. Make sure on the developer machine you have your ODBC connection setup under the System DNS setting in windows.
2. On the Crystal Report Server, the exact same setup must be done under System DNS, same name, etc
Once this was done, everything was fixed.
