As a means of adding additional open-source database options and as an additional data management method, administrators can integrate their SQL-based Decisions environment with a MySQL Database.
The following document demonstrates how to properly install MySQL and integrate it with a pre-existing Decisions Installation.
Upgrading from v6 to v8?
Please review Upgrading Decisions (v6 to v8) for IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS.
MySQL Install
- Install with MySQL.
- Via the MySQL Product Archives, select a Product Version 8.0.32 or later from the respective drop-down. Then, select .NET & Mono under Operating System, and Download the resulting ZIP Archive.
- Extract and open the downloaded .zip file (ex: "mysql-connector-net-8.0.32-noinstall"). Open folder
net6.0. CopyMySql.Data.dllandGoogle.Protobuf.dll.
- Paste these files into
C:\Program Files\Decisions\Decisions Server\Instances\Control\CustomReferences\.
- Restart the Decisions Server (or IIS App Pool).
- Upon reconnection to the Studio, navigate to System > Integrations > Databases. Then, click CREATE CONNECTION.
- In the Database Integration window, specify a Connection Name (ex: "MySQLtest") and set the Database Type to MYSQL. Then configure the MYSQL SERVER settings, or define a Custom Connection String.
- Click TEST to confirm successful connectivity, then click OK.
- Once the database has been integrated, search and view its contents via the Query Editor.
