Link Server to MySQL Database

Hi

I ma trying to create a linked server to a MySQL database via ODBC. I am running SQL 2005 on Windows 2003 R2 (64-bit). Can any one point me in the right direction .

Any ideas|||MSDASQL (provider shipped with SS2005 which serves as OLEDB-ODBC bridge) is not supported in 64-bit. Check if there is an 64-bit OLEDB provider for MySQL that you can use directly.|||

Thanks for that i will look into it.

Hi James,

Were you able to do that? I am having the trouble doing the same. If you have done, could you please post the procedure.

Thanks,

Neelesh:)

|||Unfortunatly I have not had much time to look at it. I have not managed to find a free / cheap OLE MYSQL driver. Sorry I was not much help|||Can you guys post your email? I can send you a documentation for creating linked servers with MySQL|||

My email address is jamesholmes@.greggs.co.uk

Thanks

Have you tried email me ?

link from sql2005 (64-bit) to sql 7 (32-bit).

Hi: I'm trying to link from sql2005 (64-bit) SP1 to sql 7 (32-bit) SP4.
I get the following error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "sql7" returned message
"Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "sql7" returned message "The
stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on
the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider
"SQLNCLI" for linked server "sql7". The provider supports the interface, but
returns a failure code when it is used.
How can I get these servers linked?
Regards,I just ran into a similar problem, but from 64 bit SQL 2005 trying to link
to 32 bit SQL 2000. What I did on the 2000 server was run the instcat.sql
from the latest service pack installation I did on the 2000 server. In my
case it was SP3a. There are instructions to change the last insert statement
to the table to reflect the version of SQL Server (select @.@.version) that
you are running. In my case it was .977. That fixed my problems.
