Installing MySQL driver

For the first time to connect to the MySQL database, you will need to install the corresponding .NET Core data provider to the development PC.

When you select MySQL from the Provider list in the Database Configuration dialog box, you will be prompted to manually download and install the provider, or have PowerBuilder automatically download and install it for you.

  • Select the first option "Install the driver from www.nuget.org" if you want to have PowerBuilder automatically download and install the driver, and if you agree with the license agreement. The driver will be automatically downloaded and installed to your local path (%USERPROFILE%\.netdbdrives).

  • Select the option "The driver already exists locally" and then specify the location of the driver if you have manually downloaded the driver to your computer.

    It must be the .NET Core data provider (MySql.Data 9.1.0) downloaded from www.nuget.org, otherwise installation will fail.
