VS connects to MYSQL through ODBC (1)

1. ODBC connection to MYSQL

1 Go to Control Panel—>System and Security—>Administrative Tools—>ODBC Data Sources (64-bit)

2 Select personal DSN or system DSN, click to add ODBC driver
The driver needs to be downloaded in advance, if not, the official website: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/
Choose whether the version is 64-bit or32-bit, download and install it

3Data Source Name—database name
Descrtption----(Description can be written or not)
User—root
Password—Your password is generally 123456 or root
Database----mysql
Click test
If the test is successful, the ODBC has been connected to mysql

Second, VS connects to ODBC

1 Open VS2017—>Tools—>Connect to Database—>Change—>Microsoft ODBC Data Source—>OK

2 Use user name or system data source name (D) -> (drop-down arrow, find the user data source name you configured in personal DSN or system DSN)—>fill in username and password=—>test connection


If the test is successful, it means VS has connected to mysql through ODBC

Three. Extension

After the connection is successful, there is a server resource manager window at the top left of VS, where you can modify and close the connection.

In the next blog, I will show VS querying database data through ODBC through code
