Hi @Vamsi46816,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum and thanks to @burakkaragoz for the helpful and detailed response.

Just to add to what’s already been shared since you’ve verified the connector installation and machine.config entries, and you're still facing the issue, it might be worth checking for any environmental factors that could interfere with the connector registration. For example, occasionally security software or group policy settings might restrict proper registry or config file updates, especially in corporate environments.

Additionally, ensure the gateway machine has been fully restarted after making these changes not just the service as that can help finalize certain system-level updates.

If the issue persists after these checks, feel free to share any recent logs from the gateway or Fabric activity, as that can give us more insight into where the failure is occurring.

If this information is helpful, please “Accept as solution” and give a "kudos" to assist other community members in resolving similar issues more efficiently.
Thank you.

Hi @Vamsi46816 ,

This error usually comes up if the MySQL .NET connector (MySql.Data.MySqlClient) isn’t installed on the same machine where your on-premises gateway is running. Even if you checked the connector version, make sure it’s actually installed on that server and restart the gateway service after installing.

You can download and install the official MySQL Connector/NET from the MySQL website. Once it’s installed, restart your on-prem data gateway service so it recognizes the change. Also, double-check that the “machine.config” file has the MySql.Data.MySqlClient entry. Sometimes the connector install doesn’t add it automatically.

If you already tried these, uninstalling and reinstalling the connector sometimes helps. Also, confirm that you’re not mixing 32-bit and 64-bit versions between the connector and the gateway.

Let us know if this helps or if you’re still having trouble.

If my response resolved your query, kindly mark it as the Accepted Solution to assist others. Additionally, I would be grateful for a 'Kudos' if you found my response helpful.

Hi suparnababu, 

Thanks for the response.  I think below details are enough to connect from fabric.

Hi @Vamsi46816 

Your details are correct. But why it's throwing error. You can try Authentication kind as Windows Authentication. Let me know if it works.

Thank you!
