Essential driver for Mysql connections
What do you like best?
Very easy to use once installed. All your database clients as well as Microsoft Access will connect directly to mysql databases with this driver.
Just create an ODBC connection and use it from your applications. Driver is working fine and did not cause any problem till now.
What do you dislike?
I did not manage to install the driver without Administrator Rights even if it seemed to be possible. Maybe it is a Windows 10 issue, because with previous versions I do not remember having same problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are working with Mysql database, you will need it.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
In my last task related with mysql, we build a simple mysql database, and needed the driver in order to link the database from a Microsoft Access file, in order to have entry forms in question of minutes.
