Trying to connect to MY SQL from Power BI
pranim,
Before you can connect to a MySQL database, you need to install MySQL Connector/Net 6.6.5 for Microsoft Windows on your computer. Select the driver that matches your Power BI Desktop installation (32-bit or 64-bit).
After installing the MySQL connector, refer to this blog to connect to MySQL in Power BI Desktop.
If the connection still fails in Power BI Desktop, please check that if you are able to connect to the MySQL database in MySQL workbench, ensure that MySQL workbench is installed in the same machine as Power BI Desktop.

Once I upgraded to mysql-connector-net-8.0.18, it will throw "MySQL: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts." error. When I use the latest version 8.0.27, it will throw ""An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Connection option 'server' is duplicated" error message.
My database version remain unchanged at 5.1.73 - but now with the connector upgrade, I am no longer able to connect. The previous version 6.6.5 no longer works 😞 Any ideas?
