databases like Oracle), the free Server edition does not. Does this mean you can’t use an

Access datasource in BlueDragon? Or a SQL Server database in the free Server edition?

No. It’s just that you must instead create the datasource outside of BlueDragon as

described in the previous section and then use the ODBC Refresh option also described

there to see the datasource.

6.3.3 Support for MySQL

As discussed previously in this document, while BlueDragon supports MySQL (and even

shows an available MySQL Driver in the list of choices of drivers offered in the

administration console when adding a datasource), the driver is not installed with

BlueDragon. See section 3.4 for more information on preparing the environment to

support MySQL.

While the free Server edition on Windows does not support the MySQL JDBC driver, it

does support any ODBC driver and you can obtain and use the MySQL ODBC driver on

any BlueDragon edition deployed on Windows.

6.3.4 Configuring Datasources Not Listed

If you’d like to use a database other than those listed in the BlueDragon administration

console, you may be able to, if you have the needed JDBC driver and as long as you are

not running the free Server edition of BlueDragon. For more information, see the

BlueDragon User’s Guide as well as FAQ 215:
