Solved: Re: Cannot connect to MySQL Database

Anonymous · ‎05-26-2022

Hi all,

For getting the data from the MySQL database, When I am connecting to MySQL Database the message says, '"This connector required one or more additional components to be installed before it can be used". To solve this problem I have installed a .net connector and ODBC connector but still getting this message. What should I do?
