This<\/a> post on Download Squad<\/a> pointed me to trying Oracle SQL Developer<\/a> to connect to my MySQL database on this website. After unpacking the download, I tried to connect but apparently I needed some extra software to connect to MySQL.<\/p>\n

This<\/a> link on the Oracle site shows the following table. It appears that the needed jar files are not included in the download.<\/p>\n

Table 1-6 Non-Oracle (Third-Party) Database Certification for SQL Developer<\/font> <\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Database<\/strong><\/td>\nReleases<\/strong><\/td>\nNotes<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Microsoft Access<\/td>\nAccess 97
Access 2000
Access 2003<\/td>\n		For any Access release: no JDBC driver needed, but you must ensure read access to system tables in the .mdb file.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Microsoft SQL Server<\/td>\nSQL Server 7
SQL Server 2000
SQL Server 2005<\/td>\n		For any Microsoft SQL Server release: JDBC driver jtds-1.2.jar required; included in jtds-1.1-dist.zip available from sourceforge.net.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MySQL<\/td>\nMySQL 3.x
MySQL 4.x
MySQL 5.x<\/td>\n		For any MySQL release: JDBC driver required. For MySQL 5.x: mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar, which is included in mysql-connector-java-5.0.4.zip<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n<\/p>\n

The jTDS – SQL Server and Sybase JDBC driver can be found here<\/a>. The mysql-connector-java can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I could not find where to put these files, so I used Google again to see if somebody had written something about this. And luckily, Roland Bouman’s blog<\/a> had a post<\/a> on this issue. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough of installing the connector for MySQL. My guess is that installing the connector for SQL Server is pretty much the same. I don’t have a SQL Server database at my disposal, so I couldn’t test this, but my guess is that it will work likewise to the MySQL connection.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what you can do with MySQL can do, except for being a datastore, but that’s mainly what SQL Developer can do for you. Play with SQL to try out your queries. I guess that’s mainly what I would use it for, so this way I would not need any other tool to play with my MySQL Database.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
