Hello,

 

I am trying to connect a corporate server's MySQL database with Power BI.

But I got an error stating "MYSQL: Reading from the stream has failed"

 

Could anyone please help me with this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Obuli

@AnthonyTilley  Yes, I tried with removing ssl certificates from server . but that didn't work. 
Also for the second solution, I have alot of reports hence can't put anything that need updaing serval times a month. 
Also, I can connect it with localhost database, this issue is with server DB.

@obulibalaji

That seems a known MySQL bug, could you try the workaround as suggested in that link?
