Linking MySQL to SQL Server. Adding linked server and configuring connection setting is not always easy and straightforward. To get MySQL linked to SQL Server I needed to create ODBC DSN for MySQL (I named it as MySQLCrm). Before going to next steps, make sure that ODBC data source works. Follow these steps to link MySQL to SQL Server. Homebrew: brew install mysql; the DBngin management tool, or; the generic binaries; Install MySQL on Windows. MySQL can be installed on 64-bit editions of Windows 10 and Windows 2012 Server R2. # Install the unixODBC library brew install unixodbc. Install common DB drivers (optional) # SQL Server ODBC Drivers (Free TDS) brew install freetds -with-unixodbc # PostgreSQL ODBC ODBC Drivers brew install psqlodbc # MySQL ODBC Drivers (and database) brew install mysql # SQLite ODBC Drivers brew install sqliteodbc. Sometimes I have this issue where I lose permission to my mysql server and get this error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) I tried killing the mysql processes and restarting the server but i keep getting denied. I also tried going into my.cnf and adding. Skip-grant-tables but it did not do. MyCLI is a command line interface for MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona with auto-completion and syntax highlighting. $ brew update && brew install.

For Unix and MacOS, ODBC drivers should be compiled againstunixODBC. Drivers compiled against iODBCmay also work, but are not fully supported.
After installation of the driver manager and driver, you will have toregister the driver in a odbcinst.ini file for it to appear in odbc::odbcListDrivers().
Microsoft Windows
Database Drivers
Windows is bundled with ODBC libraries; however, drivers for each databaseneed to be installed separately. Windows ODBC drivers typically include aninstaller that must be run to install the drivers in the properlocations.
Administration
The ODBC Data Source Administratorapplication is used to manage ODBC data sources on Windows.
Apple MacOS
Installation
Install homebrew to install database drivers easily on MacOS
- Install UnixODBC, which is required for all databases
- Install common DB drivers (optional)

Installation
The apt-get command can be used to install databasedrivers easily on Linux distributions that support it, such as Debian and Ubuntu.
- Install UnixODBC, which is required for all databases
- Install common DB drivers (optional)
Setting up database connections
On MacOS and Linux, there are two separate text files that need to be edited.UnixODBC includes a command-line executable called odbcinst, which can be used toquery and modify the DSN files. However, these are plain text files youcan also edit by hand if desired.
There are two different files used to set up the DSN information:
odbcinst.inidefines driver optionsodbc.inidefines connection options
odbcinst.ini
Brew Mysql Server Command
This file contains the driver information, particularly the name of the driver library.Multiple drivers can be specified in the same file.
odbc.ini
This file contains the connection information, particularly the username, password, databaseand host information. The Driver line corresponds to the driver defined inodbcinst.ini.

See also: unixODBC without the GUI for more information and examples.
Location
The DSN configuration files can be defined globally for all users of thesystem, often at/etc/odbc.ini or /opt/local/etc/odbc.ini. The file location depends onwhat option was used when compiling unixODBC; odbcinst -j can be used to findthe exact location. Alternatively, the ODBCSYSINI environment variable can beused to specify the location of the configuration files. Ex. ODBCSYSINI=~/ODBC
A local DSN file can also be used with the files ~/.odbc.ini and ~/.odbcinst.ini.
Connecting to a Database in R
Databases can be connected by specifying a connection string directly, or withDSN configuration files.

Connection Strings
Pass the connection parameters as arguments to the dbConnect() function.
For database-specific settings, go to the Databases section in the menu and look for the page that matches the desired database type.
DSN Configuration files
ODBC configuration files are another option to specify connection parameters; theyallow you to use a Data Source Name (DSN) to make it easier to connect to a database.
