Configuring Access to a MySQL Database

If you want to use Precision Bridge to extract data from MySQL then you must configure the path to the MySQL JDBC driver on the Precision Bridge Configuration Screen.

The Configuration screen is presented when you select File->Configure->Application from the menu.

From the Precision Bridge configuration screen, first, check the 'Support MySQL Data Source' checkbox, then browse to the location of the MySQL JDBC driver (e.g. mysql-connector-java-8.0.29.jar)

The MySQL JDBC driver required to connect to a MySQL database is not distributed with Precision Bridge.  If not present on your local machine, this file can be downloaded from the MySQL Website (MySQL JDBC Download).
