MySQL Connectors

MySQL Connectors

In this tutorial, we will look at different MySQL Connectors. MySQL works with many drivers(software programs) and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

MySQL Connectors

The drivers act as bridges between the MySQL Server and the client programs, communicating using a particular protocol. These drivers comprise the family of MySQL Connectors.

 MySQL connectors are useful for providing MySQL connectivity in heterogeneous environments. It is not necessary for the server to be running on the same machine or for the server to be running the same operating system as the client. For example, a client running on a Windows machine can run client applications that can connect and access MySQL Server running on a Linux server host.

Download

The connectors are available for Windows and Linux operating systems. They are available as separate packages. To use a connector, you must install it on the client host. Some connectors are developed by MySQL and some are developed by the MySQL Community.  To download the drivers and for more information can be found at:
