Hello

I would like create a source system in a SAP BI/BW with a DB-Connect type to a MySQL DB 4.

I installed the MaxDB client 7.6.04 and the last lib_dbsl_144-10003441 --> dbsdbslib.dll

But when I create the DB connection I get an error "connect packet garbled"

Anybody knows what it is the problem?

Thanks

Hello

Do you really mean a MySQL DB?

Please take into account, that MySQL and SAP MaxDB are completely different databases. Therefore client tools for one db will not work with the other one.

Hello

But SAP MaxDB it's a evolution of MySQL, isn't it?

I thought that with some parameter to indicate that is connected with DB MySQL could be compatible?

Are These products absolutly diferent and only are there one possiblity of connection? With JDBC client?

Thanks

No - it's a different product, MySQL and MaxDB have no codebase in common.

No - this is not possible.

Yes - JDBC should work.
