在64位系统中通过odbc连接到mysql

Question

I have installed the community server on my computer but for some reason i keep on getting this error

Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI Driver};Server=localhost;Database=smsserver;
User=root;Password=123456;Option=3;

ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

This is my connection string

Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI Driver};Server=localhost;Database=smsserver; User=root;Password=123456;Option=3;

I have not done anything really,i just installed the community edition and tried to connect.

Answer 1

This should work:

Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.2 ANSI Driver};Server=localhost;
Database=myDataBase;User=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Option=3;

Data origin

Answer 2

I solved the problem by downloading the 32 bit odbc connector and installing and doing the same for he 64 bit.

I then used my original string and worked.The answer also given above

Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.2 ANSI Driver};Server=localhost; Database=myDataBase;User=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Option=3;

also worked.

Answer 3

in many cases, installing the redists ( vcredist_x64 ) or ( vcredist_x86 ) solves this issue.

i am wondering why it is not mentioned any where on the website?
