MySQL 4.x and 5.x
- Define a driver template for MySQL 4.1 (use this for 5.x too).
- Let un == user name (for example, "root")
- Let pw == password
Then
- Jar: mysql-connector-java-5.0.0-beta-bin.jar
- Database: mysql
- Driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
- URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost/?user=un&password=pw
Next, create the connection profile:
- Choose "SQL Model-JDBC Connection"
- Give the profile an appropriate name, such as "MySQL"
- Choose the driver template you just created from the combo box
- "Finish" to save the connection profile
Note that you might have to tweak these values for your case. Results in a partial tree in Data Source Explorer, and can be used with the SQL Editor.
