[RFE] native MySQL access
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:45:41 UTC
MySQL integration seems to require that a data source have a Windows DSN. I'm filing this as a defect because it seems so counter-intuitive for anyone used to "mysql -h <ip_address>", which is probably a large # of MySQL users.
I claim this isn't a defect, since the current solution is working, but a request for enhancement (in particular for ODBC/JDBC-less access to MySQL). I strongly doubt than any Sun-sponsored work will go into this in a forseeable future, but nevertheless, it's a valid RFE. Confirming, Grabbing, Accepting, Targeting.
now really grabbing
accepting
change subcomponent to 'none'
assigning to user experience team for evaluation
this seems to be fixed as there are good connections via MySQL ODBC/JDBC and the beta version of the nativ mysql driver so it works for me
