Can somebody please provide detailed instructions on how to connect ArcGIS Desktop to a MySQL database? I've seen other threads where people say they've done it. I have tried it myself, downloaded the ODBC driver, but have not been able to get it to work.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Bob,
I have attached a document that outlines the following:
1. Download and install the driver.
2. Add the ODBC driver as a data source on the machine.
3. Connect to the MySQL database in ArcCatalog.
Here are some relevant links:
MySQL ODBC Driver download (5.2.x)
MySQL :: Download Connector/ODBC

Is this workflow still relevant in ArcCatalog 10.7.x? I had an OLE DB connection that still works in 10.5.x, but the MySQL tables do not show up in ArcCatalog 10.7.x when using the same drivers and connection parameters.
