MySQL Cloud Connection - Will not validate my credentials to schedule refresh
- 3 years ago
There is a difference between "cloud" and "cloud that is directly visible to Azure Service Bus". Your cloud may or may not be considered to be "on premise" by Azure and therefore may or may not require a gateway. Either a standard gateway or a Vnet gateway. In the latter scenario you are at the mercy of Azure and have to hope that their VNet gateway uses the non-broken MySQL driver.
Keep in mind that MySQL is owned by Oracle.
You can find 8.0.28 on the interwebs. MySQL :: Download MySQL Connector/NET (Archived Versions)
You DO need a gateway and you DO need to install this on ALL gateway cluster members
Ok, not the answer I was hoping for. What is the reason that a gateway is needed if this is a database is hosted on cloud? I thought the big benefit to having cloud datasets would be to avoid the need for the gateway?
