Hybrid Data Pipeline uses MySQL Connector/J when connecting to MySQL Community Edition. During installation, if you opt for using MySQL Community Edition as an external database or as a data source, you are prompted to specify the location of the MySQL Connector/J driver. This allows the installer to integrate MySQL Connector/J into the Hybrid Data Pipeline environment. Subsequently, you may configure data sources that connect to a MySQL CE data store and execute queries with ODBC, JDBC, and OData applications.
Since MySQL Connector/J is a separate component, it may require configuration and maintenance apart from Hybrid Data Pipeline. Therefore, you should refer to MySQL Connector/J documentation for information on support, functionality, and maintenance. In addition, the Progress DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline Installation Guide provides a procedure for upgrading the MySQL Connector/J driver without reinstalling the Hybrid Data Pipeline server.
