I just installed SQL Server 2008 R2. I added mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.6-win32.msi to connect to MySQLl database. It is not working properly . Please help – what driver can be used? - (VStudio 2008) when try to add/remove tables for DATA Source Views , I am getting an error ERROR [42000] [MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysqld-5.1.32-community-log]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[ fchclient]' at line 2 (myodbc5.dll) - (VStudio 2008) when try to add ADO.NET with data access mode: table or view, I am getting an error : TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ Error at Data Flow Task [ADO NET Source [1]]: The component "ADO NET Source" (1) was unable to retrieve column information for the SQL command.

It seems related to the version of your mysql server. The driver is building wrong syntax to retrieve column information. You need to check mysql support or forum to see the compatible versions or if any tracing is possible. Thanks. Liu An - MSFT

Hi Lenora2010, I have the same problem. Were you able to solve it? MySQL does not offer any other version or a newer version of the driver yet. Regards, Alex
