ODBC Drivers

 Top  Previous  Next

A common way to access databases for Windows clients (including the EventSentry agent) is to use ODBC. Naturally, MySQL ODBC drivers are not shipped with the Windows Operating System and must be installed manually on the clients.

 

You can download the latest ODBC drivers from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html. The installation and configuration are straightforward and do not require a reboot. The screenshot below shows the ODBC screen of MySQL.

We recommend using AutoAdministrator if you need to roll out MySQL ODBC drivers and DSN names to multiple machines. If you have Active Directory then you can also roll out the MySQL ODBC drivers using Group Policy, click here for more information.
