Overview
ODBC Driver for MySQL is a connectivity solution that enables ODBC-compliant applications and programming languages to access and manipulate data from MySQL, MariaDB, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon Aurora MySQL, and Azure Database for MySQL using Microsoft’s Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface. The driver supports direct connection via TCP/IP, eliminating the need for MySQL client libraries.
The driver is intended for use with ODBC‑compliant reporting, analytics, and business intelligence tools on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, macOS, and Linux. It fully supports standard ODBC API functions and data types and provides efficient and secure access to live MySQL and compatible database data from anywhere.
