Abstract
To create a new data source
with the new MySQL driver, the data source administration dialog must
be extended. A new page will be inserted where the user can fill in
all necessary information which are needed to connect to a MySQL
database.

1 MySQL driver page
The new driver page fort
MySQL allows the user to select between two different kinds of 'how
to connect to the MySQL database'. The first possibility is to use an
existing MyODBC
data source which must be defined in the used system. The second kind
is to use the JDBC
version from MySQL named “connector/J”.
1.1 The driver page in detail
In
the first group box the user can select which kind of connection he
would like to use. Either an existing ODBC data source which must be
defined in the used system or to connect to the database via the JDBC
interface. To allow the user to specify different driver classes, an
extra edit field is enabled when the JDBC was selected, where the
name of the driver class can be inserted.
In the second group box information about the data source, the user
name, if a password is required and which character set the MySQL
server should use, can be defined. The URL field contains different
meaning depending on the type of connection. In the case of ODBC, it
contains the name of the ODBC data source; in the case of JDBC it
contains the host name, a port number and the database name. To give
the user a hint, the URL field will contain a default value for a
JDBC kind of connection, where the user has to substitute only the
fields in the brackets.
