Is it possible to connect to mysql database using uipath? If yes? How to connect to MySQL Database?

Help

I have my existing database in created in mysql. I searched for various solutions for my problem, but it seems like there is no option to connect to mysql. All the solutions what I got were to connect to microsoft sql server or oracle.
Please provide a detail solution about it. If possible .xaml file will be helpful. Also, if need to install any other third party application, please provide link for that too.
Thanks in advance

Also, Here Oracle MySql Option is not displaying.

Already tried this solution, same error… Waiting for more detailed answer.

No need to select connection wizard there, choose option from lat dropdown

make sure TNS settings should be saved in the oracle folder

This thread will help you.

First install the MySQL-ODBC connector from here

Make sure you download the 32 bit version as it seems UiPath is compatible with 32bit driver version. After that follow the thread.

Hello,

fr MySql connection,
inside Connect node you can simply pass the connection string is enough. It will automatically gets updated

“server=‘10.100.X.XX’; UID=‘UiPath’; PASSWORD=‘******’; DATABASE=‘UiPath’; PORT=‘3306’;”

for example i have attached a smple flow, edit it accordingly to your db server.MySQL_Test.xaml (5.6 KB)

Thanks,
Meg

Hey ,
You need to connect the database with UiPath using Mysql Odbc Connector.
Then you can connect UiPath with MySQL.

Regard’s,

Use connect activity. Under properties Use provider name as MySql.Data.MySqlClient. Set your connection string “Server=127.0.0.1;Database=xxx;Uid=xxxx;Pwd=xxx”. Thats it
cheers

Can you tell me in more detail about setting up the odbc connection

Thank you
