[SOLVED] mySQL third party database?

995604Mar 8 2013 — edited Mar 8 2013
I think it is surprising that mySQL is threated as a third-party database or has Oracle sold it?

"You can also connect to schemas for selected third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Server, Microsoft Access, and IBM DB2, and view metadata and data."

I have searched most of the documentation and the forum and now I think that I have to install some kind of driver (jdbc perhaps) and then I get a new tab in the connection view where I now only have the oracle tab.

I tried to use the oracle connection tab and use a jdbc connection string: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cdr?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8 both with and without the unicode string but it did not work.

Found it -> Help -> Developer Center -> JDBE my SQL driver (from my mind, just restarting it)
