x64 Linked Server to a MySQL Database

  • Has anyone setup a linked server on SQL Server 2008 x64 to a MySQL database using the MySQL ODBS 5.1 x64 driver.

    I am getting the following error and I have played with the various settings on the ODBC side to no affect:

    Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    An invalid schema or catalog was specified for the provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ESS".

    Have to ask, are you running SQL Server 2005 x64 or SQL Server 2005 x32? If you got the linked server to work using the x64 MySQL ODBC driver I would be very interested in what settings you used, as well as which version.

    I had no problems setting up the MySQL ODBC driver and linked server using SQL Server 2005 x32.

    Both. x64 in prod, x32 in dev and we set up the linked server on both.

    On x64, we're using version 5.1 of the odbc driver.

    Collation Compatible False

    Data Access True

    RPC False

    RPC Out False

    Use Remote Collation True

    Collation Name *blank* (the value, not the text :-))

    Connection Timeout 0

    Query Timeout 0

    Distributor False

    Publisher False

    Subscriber False

    Lazy Schema Validation False

    And on the MSDASQL Provider:

    Dynamic parameter disabled

    Nested queries enabled

    level zero only enabled

    allow inprocess enabled

    non transacted updates disabled

    index as access path disabled

    disallow adhoc access disabled

    supports 'Like' operator enabled

    On the ODBC Datasource, I have the following values set:

    Page1:

    Returned Matched Rows instead of affected rows

    Allow big result sets

    use compression

    treat bigint columns as int columns

    enable seafe otpoins

    Page2:

    Don't prompt with connecting

    Page3:

    Include table name in SQLDescribeCol()

    Disable transaction support

    --all other options blank or disabled.

    I'm not the admin on the MySQL side, but I can do any other testing to see if something works here that doesn't there, I'm willing.

    @jcrawf02: 😀 Thanks. It's so seldom I get to offer anything that I jump on something that even looks close.

    EDITED: Added the driver version and ODBC settings

  • Chad,

    Thank you. Turned out I needed to make a couple of changes to the properties for the MSDASQL provider. Didn't have to do that on the x32 linked server (or at least I don't remember doing it).

    I wish you had seen this post earlier, I have spent a lot of time looking at an older version of the x64 ODBC driver and trying to figure out how and where to install it manually.

  • Wow... it actually worked?!?!

    I can't claim credit for the settings - I copied them from a website/blog/forum somewhere I can't now find and luckly it worked for me. Glad it worked for you too.
