Hi @maybevlad,

Did you install the mysql connector? If this is a case, I think the issue may related to it, you can take a look at below link:

But the error message is related to the connector, can you ensure you have succeeded install the matched connector?

Hi @maybevlad,

I'd like to suggest you use other methods to check the mysql connector state.

For example: you can try to use odbc connection to check the connection state. If odbc can connect to mysql succeed, it means the connector install succeed.

About use odbc connect to mysql, you can refer to below document:
