Hello,
I am using the MySQL server installed with XAMPP. What driver should I select to connect to my database?
This is how I am trying to establish the connection:
Menu: File -> Create a Database Connection
-> Connection Wizard
-> MySQL (ODBC)
-> Create a new Data Source Name (DSN) with the driver:
Now here is a list of drivers available. Most of them are from Microsoft and obviously not suitable for me because dealing with files. I decided to try the driver "SQL Server" and "SQL Native Client".
Nothing works for me! Need help.

Hi,
you have to install the ODBC driver from MySQL. You'll find the driver here:
