Hans,

I had to do this a few days ago, so it’s fresh in my mind. Download Connector/J from the MySQL website and place .jar file in the basex/lib folder. Restart BaseX (if you’re using the server version) so it picks up the new .jar.

Queries can then be run like:

let $c := sql:connect('jdbc:mysql://localhost/database', 'user', 'password')

sql:execute($c, "select …")

sql:execute($c, "call stored_procedure…();")

Cheers,

Vincent

Dear BaseX team,

can you point me to some information about which steps I must take in order to start accessing MySQL databases via the sql module? 

Thank you for help,

Hans-Juergen
